A few hours before this evening's match against Atalanta, Fiorentina midfielder Mateo Pellegrino spoke to the club's official microphones. During his interview, Pellegrino recalled the mocking draw at San Siro against Inter, where the Viola team lost 2-2 in injury time. "When you lose by conceding two goals in injury time, playing again after a few days is positive. On Sunday we gave everything, coming close to a positive result against a great team like Inter," he said, underlining the importance of maintaining high concentration and learning from Milan's mistakes.
In his analysis of the match against Atalanta, Pellegrino highlighted the need for a perfect performance. "We should be perfect. We know their value, they have many players capable of deciding the match with one play." He added that the Viola team is determined to do well, especially at home, to improve their position in the table. “The support from the fans so far has been incredible and deserves to be repaid,” he said, highlighting the importance of public support.
Regarding Fiorentina's offensive ability, Pellegrino expressed confidence. "I'm sure of it. It's true that we haven't scored much but in the last few games some episodes have gone against us." He stressed that the goal is to continue to work hard, create scoring opportunities and improve the offensive numbers. “Me, Beto and all the rest of our attackers, we work to help the team, both with goals and with shadow work,” he added, highlighting the importance of the contribution of all players.
This evening's match will take place at the Franchi at 8.45pm, where Fiorentina will face Sarri's Atalanta. With the Viola team looking to consolidate their position in the table, Pellegrino reiterated the need for an impeccable performance and to make the most of scoring opportunities. The final result remains uncertain, but Fiorentina is determined to give its all to obtain a positive result against a high-level opponent.
