Fabio Pecchia’s words on the eve of Fiorentina-Parma
Fabio Pecchia presented the challenge with Fiorentina, valid for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, in a press conference: "In Florence you need that lightness of mind to play soccer, to want to have fun and make sacrifices. And to work, putting humilityà. The game on Wednesday; è is a beautiful game, a beautiful showcase, we face a Champions League team. And è a team that will push us, technically, physically and mentally, to go beyond our limits. And we want to be ready. For that, serenityà, lightness and readiness".
“In today’s league standings you only need to see it,‖ he added about the Viola.
A few years ago they talked about Seven Sisters, Fiorentina was among them. In recent years, with the arrival of Italiano, è still in that same historical position of the Seven Sisters, where they play for a place in Europe and not only for the Conference. It’ is one step away from Champions. It’ is a beautiful team, which plays beautiful soccer and over the years has è gotten used to playing the three games in a week. And it does it with quality, with great focus, Italian should be congratulated becauseé è itè nice to see a team playing like this in Europe and in the league".
"Having said that, the goal of Parma and the club to be able to return to what was happening a few years ago, to play these kinds of games not only sporadically but also with continuityà in the league. Does Fiorentina have the burden of winning the Cup? I donà t know if it will be an advantage for us this, è clear that Fiorentina showed last year to play for all competitions, coming in the final part of the two cups and high in the league. So they will try again this year, è obvious legitimate on their part to win to get to the bottom".
"The teamè full, Benedyczak è recovered. Apart from the disqualification of Zagaritis, there’è the whole group available. There’è also the pleasure of putting Lautaro Valenti in the list of summoned players, so all the guys are available" Pecchia commented on the condition of the squad.
