Milenkovic: “We showed character and personality”

ACF Fiorentina

Nikola Milenkovic credited Fiorentina’s character and personality for helping the team battle back from a goal and a man down to secure a 1-1 draw with AC Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday night.

“As I’ve said before, this team needs to realise how good it is and how much character and personality we have,” he said. “We went down to ten men against a very good side in AC Milan but we didn’t drop deep, we went out to try to score and draw level. We managed that and then we had chances to make it 2-1 late on.”

Milenkovic went on to acknowledge the defensive improvement of the Viola since the arrival of Beppe Iachini.
“We’ve really progressed defensively,” he said. “We’re compact and organised and I think you can see that. We don’t give our opponents many chances and that stems from our work on the training pitch. We need to keep it up and focusing on keeping it tight and scoring goals in order to win games.”
The young Serb has subjected to a gruelling exam at the hands of Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Saturday night.
“He’s a great player,” he said. “There’s no point in me praising him because we all know what a great player and person he is. It was really tough but we held firm today and I think we deserved the point.”
Last but certainly not least, Milenkovic had warm words for the Viola faithful.
“The fans spurred us on and showed great support when we went down to ten men,” he said. “They were fantastic tonight, as they always are. They really help the team during the tough moments. We need them – thanks to them.”

Iachini praises Fiorentina reaction to red card

ACF Fiorentina

Beppe Iachini has expressed his satisfaction with the way his Fiorentina side reacted to going down to ten men against AC Milan on Saturday night, claiming that his team would have been worthy winners had they managed to complete a thrilling comeback.

“The most important thing is that the team always tackles adversity with our heads up and our chests out and always tries to get the win,” he said. “That’s our objective as a team, home and away. We always want to get the three points. The lads tried for that right until the end and that’s what I ask from them, even when we’re a man down. In terms of the clear chances, I think we would have deserved to win more than our opponents.”

Iachini went on to pinpoint a few areas where the team needs to improve.
“We weren’t troubled much at all and we didn’t give them many chances,” he said. “As I’ve said before, we need to improve the way we bring the ball out and our passing game, because often we make a mistake when we’re coming out from defence and that prevents us from getting up the pitch and building. That said, we had several chances in the first half.
“We started well after the break but sadly we conceded an unlucky goal – there was a half shout for a foul on [Gaetano] Castrovilli in the build-up. We need to be more focused but it was a bit of bad luck and that happens in football. Having said that, the team didn’t give up – that’s the spirit I want to see from the lads.”
Fiorentina have found things tough at the Franchi in some games this season, but Iachini stressed that his team are progressing well from a psychological perspective too.
“We need to keep working on the mental side of things because at times we don’t play directly enough and sometimes pass backwards,” he said. “Those are things we need to keep working on to ensure we keep progressing. We misplaced a few easy passes today but that’s something we’ll work on in training.”

First of all, let me tell you, that the Italian Government took the measure to cancel events in the region of Veneto and Lombardy.  The Coronavirus alarm in Italy sending the emergency measure. The Italian government takes this action to avoid the spread of the virus claiming already 79 confirmed cases including 2 deaths in Italy. The games postponed are Atalanta vs Sassuolo, Inter vs Sampdoria, Hellas Verona vs Cagliari, and Torino vs Parma.

The status quo of the Serie A in the leadership remains the same.  Juventus is the sole leader reaching 60 points after defeating SPAL with a 2-1.  The main highlight of this match is the celebration of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo playing his 1,000 professional games.  The celebration for Cristiano at its best because he also scored a goal.   Surely, Cristiano never stop surprising football fans.  Cristiano adding another record in this game scoring  for an 11th straight league game in the Serie A.  The record was set by forward Gabriel Batistuta in 1994 and equalized by forward Fabio Quagliarella last season.

Bad news is for SPAL because they remain in the last position of the Serie A.  It seems SPAL not finding their way for salvation to remain in the Serie A next season.  Something must be done in the next few games….

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 25:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 26 goals

Lazio super motivated keeping up the race for the Scudetto very tight.  Lazio defeated Genoa with a 2-3 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Lazio reaching 59 points is only -1 point below Juventus with 60.  The super hero and absolute king is forward Ciro Immobile scoring a goal while being the top scorer of the Serie A wiht 26 goals.

Fiorentina and AC Milan ended with a draw.  The draw is more like a failure for AC Milan because they were leading and their objective was to claim all 3 points.  Fiorentina remaining with 10 players in the 62nd minute. Referee Calvarese sent off with a red card Dalbert after a foul on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  Simply put, AC Milan once again disappointing the fans failing to win despite having an extra player for almost 30 minutes.  Fiorentina saved at least 1 point when Erick Pulgar converted a penalty in the 85th minute.

Bologna and Udinese also ending with a draw.

Napoli with a boost to the morale of the squad after defeating Brescia with a 1-2.  Napoli rushing to climb up the Serie A dreaming with the objective to reach the European Zone.  Napoli reached 36 points while Brescia remain in the relegation zone with 16 points.
