Enrico Albertosiformer Fiorentina goalkeeper who won 8 victories in the 1959/60 season, gave an interview published in today’s edition of Corriere dello Sportduring which he had his say on the current Fiorentina: “It’s a reality that works very well. With the change of coach it didn’t start very well, but then he changed the playing system and the team found itself and started to win Which he continues to do.”
What made the current Fiorentina so different from last year’s?
“In my opinion the center forward. And also the goalkeeper.”
We dutifully start with De Gea, who has already become essential.
“For starters, the Spaniard is leading a defense that already has great basic skills.”
In short, does he value the quality of his teammates?
“Exactly. Because he manages to exploit the characteristics of the defenders in front of him. There he makes them go left and right following the opponent’s trajectory. Which is a fundamental element in the covering phase.”
Is De Gea the best goalkeeper in our league?
“It is certainly one of the best, together with Atalanta (Carnesecchi, ed.)”.
