“The reason why I chose Fiorentina, apart from the project, is because the club has so much passion, the people push you and it has the best sports centre in Italy. It’s the perfect place to play lots of games and grow”. Word of Edward Bove. Presented in a press conference as the new player of the Florentinethe former Giallorossi player also returned to the reasons for his farewell to the Rome: “It’s my choice because they told me I wouldn’t have the space I need to become the player I want to be. I was out of the project, I want to be at the center and protagonist.”
During the meeting with reporters, Bove also talked about his first encounter with Raffaele Palladino: “The coach asked me to apply myself. I arrived two weeks ago and I need to assimilate certain concepts that may have already been transferred to others. He asked me to be as careful as possible and grasp what he asks. I would tell you that I play wherever the coach puts me! I would almost play in goal (smiles, ed.)… You learn new things like that, you understand how certain players think and you can use everything to your advantage”.
Waiting for the verdict. Regardless of Bove’s words, Fiorentina is growingly anxious about the latest news on the legal case involving Albert Gudmundssonaccused in Iceland of sexual misconduct. The second hearing will be completed in the next few hours, then the former Genoa player will return to Italy. The sentence is expected at least by mid-October, even if in his homeland several sources are talking about a possible economic agreement to close the case.
