Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano still has one regret

Vincenzo Italiano does not hide a regret

A smile è is a must after a 91'victory, even more so if it is achieved in a semifinal first leg of a European cup, the Conference League, which Fiorentina wants to win after last year's knockout in the final. Vincenzo Italiano, however, does not want to dwell only on the positive things and indeed explains that he has a couple of reasons to recall his team after the 3-2 infliction on Club Brugge.

"My regret è that we conceded two avoidable goals,” the Viola coach told 'Sky Sport' -I have not seen the penalty action yet but we could have done more as well. On the second goal, then, we let our guard down, like against Sassuolo. Martinez Quarta and Ranieri need to work better on preventives, sometimes they do not perceive the potential danger if we have the ball of the game".

For the return leg there will be a one-goal lead, but for Italiano it will not be easy at all: "We have to keep the tension very high for the whole of the next 90 minutes plus recovery,” he said. “We cannot afford even ten seconds of inattention, this è a team that punishes you at the first blunder".

A word for the match-winner, M'Bala Nzola, often the target of criticism: "I è liked him, è entered with the right attitude and scored the decisive goal. I am really happy for his goal, è it was fundamental in the economy of the double challenge. We hope well for the return".
