Fiorentina head coach Cesare Prandelli has spoken in the press conference earlier today ahead of the game opposing his team to AC Milan this Sunday in Serie A. Here are some excerpts from his statements:
On Milan:
"Milan is a team that has consolidated a game and a very specific identity in recent months, but we are here."
On whether Milan's elimination could affect the game:
"They will certainly be angry, I have great respect for the team and for the coach. If they are disappointed, we are equally angry at how this championship is evolving: I hope to be able to stay in the game until the end."
On how is his team physically:
"Well, we worked by increasing the intensity of the workouts and everyone responded well. Yesterday Biraghi recovered, let's see if he repeats the same type of training and I think he is available. Amrabat had a back problem, a bit more delicate, and after today's training, in a group, it will be decided."
On the risk of relaxing after the big win against Benevento:
"It would be a shame not to repeat the performance, from the point of view of intensity and order. I don't think there is a lowering of tension, tomorrow we will have to suffer but we have to do it in order and not take counterattack without balance. We have to annoy Milan when we have the ball."
On recovering Bonaventura:
"He is training well, I hope he can repeat the performances of the last few games."
On whether Kouame have any chances to play tomorrow:
"He had a problem that seemed small, we solved it but it's not one hundred percent. I also want to understand his condition today."
On whether Ibra is the most decisive player in Serie A at 39:
"His career speaks about his technical qualities. I think it is a unique example where a player arrives with the mentality of subverting a situation, he has done it and this means being a leader. Even if you have great quality players it is not easy to determine in that role."
