Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano does not forget the booing: “It hurts, there is no memory”

Vincenzo Italiano after the victory with the Hearts

Vincenzo Italiano, Fiorentina coach, spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport commenting on the fresh 5-1 victory over Hearts: “We went for goal on loose balls, in goal with the forwards, there are no easy games in this competition. It was a positive day, happy for the boys because we were not coming from an easy period. Never lose sight of our identity, what we do during the week, if we abandon that we are no longer ourselves, you start to distort ourselves. reacting in this way means the boys have character.”

The coach then answered questions about the recovery of Nico Gonzalez: “We continue not to be cool and lucid, we have missed too many. From the moment he is in he has to kick it on the field. He needs it because he needs confidence and minutes. It serves to give him polish and continuity, he is a different player from the others we have on the roster.”

“There is too little time to prepare matches, with great intensity and pace. You struggle to get ready, plus you miss training sessions. The matches help you do what you don’t do during the week, we wanted this European experience and we enjoy it. Acknowledgment? It hurts, there is no memory, you don’t remember anything, you look at what happens today and in the immediate, I’m used to it because it’s part of our job, always with our heads held high trying to make those who lose confidence believe again. The whistles in the last match hurt everyone, I told the boys to try to turn them into applause,” Italiano concluded.
