Wednesday opponent: Fiorentina.

Prandelli fielded the 352 with little possession and very vertical. They also press and are very careful in the defensive phase.

They have an excellent defensive phase (with the midfielders and in particular with the 3 central backs: Milenkovic, Pezzella and Martinez Quarta), but if we press well, we can close them and send them on tilt.

They attack mainly on the left with Castrovilli-Biraghi-Ribery. Usually Castrovilli with dribbling tries to create numerical superiority and then either reach the conclusion or direct assistance or pass on Ribery. Ribery, very good at dribbling, is dangerous when he goes to the center from the left to shoot right and when he assists Vlahovic.

Vlahovic prefers to play on the right where he has more range (he's all left).

We must use the competitive, positive and fair anger of the match with Milan to defeat Fiorentina, but it takes not only the heart but also a lot of head. We are focused, in control and we will take home the lampredotto (a tripe sandwich with sauce, typical of Florence). Let's beat them. Daje Roma!
