Turin, 10 May (LaPresse) – ’Monday's match will be an important one for us, one we'll approach with knives between our teeth, with great determination and a desire to fight until the end. We'll have to be meticulous in everything we do, approaching the match with focus and cunning. Our focus is solely on preparing for Monday's game, to give 110% alongside our fans, who I am sure will once again be our 12th man on the pitch.’ These were the words of Venezia coach Eusebio Di Francesco at a press conference ahead of the league match against Fiorentina. ‘They are a team that has strengthened considerably in the winter transfer window, especially in midfield, where they can count on players of great quality. They came close to qualifying for a European final, a sign of their great value,‘ he added. “We will face an opponent who will come to the ”Penzo’ determined to win and take home the three points, just as we want to do. They are used to games like this and have players who are good at recovering their energy: expecting a Fiorentina side that doesn't fight and an easy game would be two serious mistakes that we cannot afford to make.’ “Personally, I am very happy to be working at this club, with these owners, this group of players and in this environment,” concluded Di Francesco. ’We all share a strong desire to stay in the league, a goal that I feel is shared by everyone involved.’
