Fiorentina can attack, and Fiorentina can put pressure. Prandelli wants to win in his first attempt in Europe. And he has his full squad at his disposal.
Fiorentina (squad): Frey, Avramov, Lupatelli; Dainelli, Gamberini, Kroldrup, Pasqual, Potenza, Ujfalusi; Donadel, Jorgensen, Gobbi, Kuzmanovic, Liverani, Montolivo, Santana; Mutu, Pazzini, Osvaldo, Vieri
Tho not too much experience, this squad has firepower. I hope Prandelli does not again make the mistake of playing without a DM.... I think this time Donadel will start. There are so many options in the attack, I would love to see what Prandelli does.
What I would like to see:
-------------------Frey
Ujfalusi -- Gamberini -- Dainelli -- Pasqual
-----------Donadel -- Liverani
----------------Montolivo
Santana ---------Pazzini ---------- Mutu
Fiorentina should be resting players like Mutu, Montolivo, Pazzini, Ujfalusi, Gamberini, & Donadel for the big game against Inter this sunday. Why is Prandelli risking the CL position for this mickey mouse competition? I just cannot understand this. I do not mind us competing in Coppa's, but Fiorentina's focus should be on Serie A right now. We are so close to clinching that final CL berth, this is not the time to tire your best players just before your biggest game of the season!
Nobody in Florence and Italy cares for UEFA Cup except Prandelli
I'm afraid to say your comments look a bit silly now...not only will your team get a huge confidence boost (like bluenine said) by beating the Dutch champions away from home, and they can now take that into the weekend's match, but now it's just 2 semifinals against a more than beatable Rangers team, before your chance at glory.
Why do my comments look silly now? Quite the opposite, my comments have been ratified by the recent results. We beat PSV and then lose so tamely to Inter. I must admit that with Inter playing so well we would have lost to them anyway, however Fiorentina understandably looked tired and it was the way we lost that bothers me. Surely we would have given a much better fight if we we not tired from the thursdays game?
Now we will have to play 2 more games in the midweek. Our rivals Milan, Udinese and Sampdoria do not. This could make all the difference.
In the chase for the secondary objective, we are compromising the main objective for the season - qualification to the CL. This is ridiculous.
on sunday!
