Montella: “Tomorrow we want to make history”

Today our story begins, tomorrow we want to write ours. We want to start our championship in terms of points and performances.” These are the words of Vincenzo Montella, Fiorentina coach who faces Juventus tomorrow at the Franchi. “It’s a match that provides maximum motivation because of the rivalry, we play for ourselves and for the fans, the motivation is maximum. A coach is judged by his work, but let me work, I’m calm. Against Napoli we played an amazing match. Against Genoa we didn’t do so well, but a misstep is understandable. The matches against Napoli and Genoa showed that we have courage, but also that we lack a bit of balance. Lirola and Dalbert are more attacking than defensive players. There are many evaluations to be made.” A match between Ribery and Ronaldo? “They play almost in the same position, they are winners, but I don’t think they should decide the match, there are other players on the pitch. We need to have the utmost conviction and the right mentality to show on the pitch." If a positive result doesn't arrive, his bench could already be in trouble. "I feel great confidence from the club, I speak to them every day. We've changed 18 players, which means the club thought the team needed to be changed.
