9.19pm – The press conference begins.
What signal is it to close the match with a 2004 in defence, a 2005 in the middle and a 2006 in goal?
“The signal is important for the club, which believes in young people. We obviously need to continue like this, I believe a lot in young people and I follow them. I want them to be the future of this club and of Italian football, it is important to have courage. Nice evening, important for the team. I liked the attitude, proof of maturity and great satisfaction this evening.”
Is this your Fiorentina?
“I believe that apart from that particular week (of Bove’s illness, ed.) in which it is physiological to have suffered a shock, now we have returned well because we know how Edo is and we are calmer. The team had a great mentality, they were concentrated. happy, we have to continue like this, let’s enjoy the evening and from tomorrow we’ll start thinking about Bologna.”
Parisi responded well despite the controversy.
“I agree, Fabiano was one of the best on the pitch: great approach. I spoke to him before the match, after what we read he could have had difficulties but instead he had great personality in his interpretation of the match and in his spirit. I believe so much in both the boy and the footballer.”
Gudmundsson and Sottil also did well.
“Gud has made a great comeback, his physical condition is growing. We are proceeding with his gradual return and at the same time he is doing extra work. Sottil is confirming what good he has done in the last 2 months: he has matured a lot and I am happy, because I haven’t done anything , he did it all.”
Ikone smiled again.
“I have always said from the beginning that I believe a lot in Johnny and he is expressing his value. He can do even more, he has great qualities, but I am happy that the public appreciated him and left with applause: he deserves it, he is sensitive and cares a lot about this shirt. I put everyone in a position to do their best, I’m happy, it’s the best reward for every coach.”
Keep making records.
“These numbers are beautiful and important. I, the boys, the staff and the club take them because we work so hard. If difficult moments come we will have to stay united and understand how to get out of them, let’s maintain balance even while enjoying the moment. We still haven’t done anything.”
9.32pm – The press conference ends.
