Sorrentino: “Fiorentina are favorites against Olympiakos, but…”

Stefano Sorrentino approached the Olympiacos-Fiorentina final from his own perspective. Speaking to “Radio Bruno”, the former goalkeeper of AEK, conveyed the image he has of the dynamics of the two teams.

“In Greece the pitches are hot and going to play there is not easy, even if the tickets are distributed in the final. The anticipation will certainly be very high. I remember the celebrations when we beat Milan in the Champions League with AEK. Olympiacos plays in the stadium of its opponent (s.s. AEK). It is clear that a final is not a match like any other“, emphasized the veteran ace.

As for whether Fiorentina are favourites, did he answer? “Yes, but in a final it matters little. See what happened between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen. Of course, after the two finals last year, this time Fiorentina should take it home».

He then spoke about Fiorentina’s main goalkeeper: “In Italy there is always criticism, the first target is the coach and the second is the goalkeeper. Terazzano is perhaps a player with little media and sponsor coverage, but in recent years at Fiorentina he has shown he can deliver. The save he made in Bruges was decisive for Fiorentina to reach the final. He may have made some mistakes. I know him and I respect him. He lets the criticism slide. I know Savorani, whom I had in Kiev, and he certainly had a hand in Terazzano’s performance».
