Ahead of his grand finale European Conference League spoke o Andrea Belotti! The “rooster” wore her jersey for the first time Fiorentina in February, when he went on loan from Rome.
“I came in before the round of 16 and they had played really well up to that point, I think because they were going into games with a lot of awareness and respect for the opposition. Of course, the fact that many of my teammates experienced something similar last year helped them to handle certain situations better and we deservedly reached the final. You get more and more used to European football, the styles of different countries.”
The Italian then spoke about Olympiakos, stressing that Piraeus have great players and it will be a difficult game on Wednesday:
“Olympiacos is a good team with great players. They knocked out a great side in Aston Villa who have had an amazing season in the Premier League. It will be difficult because it is a final, a unique match. You should not be afraid to lose, because when you are afraid you always make mistakes. It’s important to just be aware. I’ll talk to my teammates for sure, because having played in a final last year can help with game management.”noted and concluded his statements:
“Florence lives and breathes football. Victory would make the city happy, allow the city to celebrate. Even though I wasn’t there, I can imagine what they went through last year when they lost. We need a different result this time, for the city to rise again. This final is also important for someone who is sadly no longer with us. Someone who lived Fiorentina with his heart and soul, who did everything for Fiorentina and will live forever in our hearts. I’m talking about Joe Barone (the general manager who died in March).”
