Prandelli: We Need Courage To Beat InterFiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli has said his team need to play without fear if they want to take anything from their game against Inter...14 Mar 2009 14:53:03
Even after their shock defeat at the hands of Palermo last time out, Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has insisted his team do not need to ask for forgiveness.
Speaking about Sunday night’s game against Inter, Il Corriere dello Sportreported that he said that belief was their best weapon.
“We are fourth now and there are still many games to go. It has been four years that we have finished in forth place, we just need to find our form again.
“We need to be courageous when we go to Milan, we will have to play brilliantly for 90 minutes, but make no mistake, we are going there to win.
“I know my players, and know they want to start again from this game.”
On the match itself, Prandelli said, “I had an idea in mid-week of moving Felipe Melo further forward in a diamond midfield. Hopefully, with Martin Jorgensen, it will be a more balanced midfield.
“It’s impossible to predict what will happen. The league is proving, week after week, that each game is tough.
He concluded by talking about his opposite number and the Viola fans,
“We will decide at the last minute how to set up the side, also depending on what Jose Mourinho does.
“I was glad we got a warm reception from the fans in midweek [when they played a little friendly] and we were all thankful for the affection they showed us.”
Fiorentina currently sit in fourth place in Serie A, one point ahead of Genoa in fifth and Roma in sixth.
老普表示:“如果他的球队想从对国米的比赛中带走点什么就必须战胜恐惧,发挥水平。”(你大爷的,不就是国米嘛,爷来了。)
即使上周被粉猪击败,老普依然坚持球队不需要请求原谅。
接受罗马体育报采访,在谈到周日晚上的比赛中国际米兰,他说,“信仰是佛罗伦萨的最佳武器。”
老普说:“我们现在是第四,但是还有很多场比赛要打。已经四年了我们一直能是第四,我们只需要用我们的方式再来一次就OK。当我们去米兰的时候,我们必须勇敢的,我们会发挥出色的90分钟,并且没有失误,毫无疑问,我们就是为胜利而来的。我了解我的队员,他们想从这场比赛重新开始。”
关于这场比赛,老普说:“我有一个想法,把费利佩.梅洛向前推进一点,和马丁.约根森搞一个菱形中场。希望这样会更平衡一点。将会发生什么是难以预测的,已经证明,意甲很艰难,每一场比赛都是艰难的。”
最后老普谈到魔力鸟和佛罗伦萨球迷。
他说:“我们将在最后一刻决定如何排兵布阵,还取决于穆里尼奥的如何安排。我很高兴在周中我们得到了来自球迷的热情的对待(他们只是表现了一点点的友好)我们都感谢他们对我们所展示的感情。 ”
佛罗伦萨目前排在意甲第四,领先第五的热那亚和第六的罗马1分。
