Riccardo Saponara, former AC Milan player, talked about the next fixture in the Serie A which sees him face his former team with La Viola. Here are his words to his club's official channel:
"My Rossoneri past makes me experience this match with even more emotion. My idol? Kakà is. I traveled with my father to watch AC Milan"
"Now, the time has come to grow as a collective in performance against teams better equipped than us, this will lead us to make the definitive leap", said the midfielder.
Riccardo Saponara, 29 years old, appeared in 11 games for Fiorentina this season after a loan spell spent at Spezia last year. In this campaign so far, the former AC Milan and Genoa player managed to score 1 goal and provide 2 assists.
On the memory of Astori:
"I shudder every time I talk about him. Today, I have a beautiful and joyful memory, because Davide was a sunny boy who coloured your days and taught me to live with a smile. He taught me to grow as a boy and that growing up a player, you can no longer think as a single individual, but as part of a collective."
