ACF Fiorentina and Meyer announce new partnership

ACF Fiorentina

ACF Fiorentina is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Anna Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation.  

The Meyer hospital is one of Florence’s finest institutions, renowned not just in Tuscany but across Italy as one of the country’s leading children’s health-care facilities.

Fiorentina will allow the Foundation to use its facilities and image, as well as the image of its players and management figures, to increase its visibility in Italy and abroad.

Through activities involving management, players and coaching staff, the club will support all of the Foundation’s campaigns to raise funds for initiatives in aid of scientific research, developing innovative health projects, improving the quality of children’s and their families’ stays in hospital, as well as in the cultural field with a special regard to children’s illnesses and their repercussions on the family and society as a whole.

With this new partnership, Fiorentina aims to further strengthen its policy – which began in June – of working with and supporting excellent, efficient local institutions.

“It is with great pleasure that the Anna Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation has today signed an agreement with ACF Fiorentina,” said Meyer Foundation President Gianpaolo Donzelli. “We share the idea that there is a close relationship between sport and health, especially in children and adolescents, and these are the cultural and moral values behind the work carried out at the Meyer on a daily basis.”

ACF Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso added: “The Meyer Hospital was one of the first places I visited in Florence when I came here with the mayor Dario Nardella. It was a very emotional experience for me and I was able to see the concrete aid this hospital offers to those needing medical care and their families. That is why we want to lend a hand so that Meyer initiatives can become more achievable. My family and I have been shown so much love since we arrived in Florence and this is a way of repaying Florence for the wonderful welcome we’ve received, by doing something away from the pitch that has an impact on people’s daily lives.”

Montella: "We’re playing for ourselves and for the fans"

ACF Fiorentina

Vincenzo Montella has made it clear that Fiorentina will be giving everything they have when rivals Juventus come to the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday afternoon.

“There’s a historic rivalry there,” said Montella, speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday. “They’re a great side and are always on top form. But I think that impossible games make for great stories, so we need to show all our energy, belief and technical ability to taste a feeling like that.”

Could we see Franck Ribery from the start against Juventus?
“Ribery is fit and firing. I’m not sure if he’s got 90 minutes in him yet but he’s trained well this week. He showed he was in good shape against Perugia – he stayed on for longer than we were expecting. He’s keen to play – he’s a great player – and as long as nothing untoward happens he will play.”
Just how big a challenge is this match?
“In the last eight years, Juve have only last eight or nine per cent of their games. They’ve drawn 19% and won about 70 or 75% of their matches. They’re a great side and are always on top form. But I think that impossible games make for great stories, so we need to show all our energy, belief and technical ability to taste a feeling like that and start writing our story.”
How is your state of mind going into the game?
“I’m motivated and confident. I want to work and finally I’m able to with the full squad. Today is the first day because Pedro hadn’t even trained with the group yet, so I feel excited. We want to start to write our story tomorrow, get off the mark in terms of points and start showing some consistency in our performances.”
Is this a special match for you as well as for Florence?
“You’re always fully motivated for Juve because they’re the best team of the last ten years and because there’s a historic rivalry there. We’re playing for ourselves and for the fans.”
Fiorentina haven’t won at home since December 2018. Does that worry you and does that increase the pressure?
“Coaches are based on the job they do – that’s normal and I accept that. Having said that, please let me do my job! I’ve not been able to work with the full squad yet, so I’m as calm as I can be.”
How is Martin Caceres?
“He had only had a couple of training sessions and hadn’t trained with the team, so I thought he was a little behind. But then he went and played two 90-minute games with his national team. He trained with us for part of the session yesterday for the first time since coming back from international duty and I have to decide whether to go on what I see in training or what he did in the games. He can play in any position, so he’s a really valuable, versatile player.”

Pedro: “Delighted to join such a big club”

ACF Fiorentina

New Fiorentina signing Pedro spoke of his happiness at joining the Viola as he was formally unveiled to the media in a press conference at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Wednesday.

“I’m delighted to be at such a big club as Fiorentina,” said the Brazilian forward. “I’d like to thank president Commisso, Joe Barone and Daniele Prade for their confidence in me. I also want to thank my family and agent – I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.”

Pedro pinpointed Fiorentina’s traditions as a club – and some of the Brazilians that have passed through Florence in the past – as playing a key role in his decision to join the Viola.
“I was delighted when my agent told me about Fiorentina’s interest because it’s a club with great traditions,” he said. “Other Brazilian players such as Edmundo and Dunga have played here, too. Fiorentina are building a great team so I hope to have a big season here.”
The Brazilian will wear the No.9 jersey for Fiorentina this season, but is unfazed about the pressure of playing with such a historic number on his back.
“The No.9 shirt is very important here – it was the shirt worn by Batistuta, who is an idol around here,” he said. “I’m starting my own journey here and I want to achieve big things here at Fiorentina with the No.9 shirt.”
Pedro went on to confirm that he is fit and raring to get started with his new team-mates.
“I feel good physically,” he said. “I had a minor injury recently with Fluminense but I’ve recovered and I feel ready to play, but it’s up to the coach whether to pick me at the weekend. I’ve only just arrive but I feel ready to play with my team-mates. My aim is to work hard and try to win something with this club.”
Pedro also explained more about his playing style for fans who may not have seen him in action.
“Like all strikers, I like scoring goals – I live for that,” he said. “But I also like dropping deeper and opening up the space for my team-mates. There’s a lot of movement to my game. I want to improve here and develop alongside my team-mates.

10 things you need to know about Fiorentina v Juventus

ACF Fiorentina

1.       Fiorentina’s first win over Juventus in Florence came on 8 January 1933 and was decided thanks to a goal from Uruguayan striker Pedro Petrone. Known as “L’Artillero”, Petrone was the first Fiorentina player to finish as the top scorer in Serie A, achieving the feat in the 1931/32 season.

2.       Fiorentina recorded their biggest win over Juventus in the 1940/41 season, a 5-0 victory secured courtesy of a Romeo Menti penalty, a goal from Pasquale Morisco and a hat-trick from centre-forward Dante Di Benedetti. Born in Genzano in 1916, Di Benedetti is still going strong and will mark his 103rd birthday on 28 October.

3.       Fiorentina have the better of the record between the two teams in Florence. In 79 matches, the Viola have won 27, drawn 30 and lost 22. Fiorentina have also scored more goals: 103 to the 91 scored by Juventus.

4.       Fiorentina have always beaten Juventus, both home and away, both times the Viola have won the Scudetto title. In the 1955/56 season, Fiorentina – led by Fulvio Bernardini – beat the Bianconeri 4-0 in Turin and 2-0 in Florence. Thirteen years later, in the 1968/69 season, the Viola beat Juventus 2-1 at home and then 2-0 away on the penultimate day of the campaign, a result that secured the title for Bruno Pesaola’s men.

5.       Giuliano Sarti – the Fiorentina goalkeeper for the Viola’s first title win – went on to end his career at Juventus. He was actually on the bench for the Bianconeri when Fiorentina got the crucial 2-0 win in Turin on 11 May 1969 to wrap up their second Scudetto. He even revealed that he celebrated when Mario Maraschi made it 2-0 and was told off by the rest of the Juventus bench. He defended himself saying: “Sorry, but the match is meaningless for us [Juventus finished fifth], so it’s better that Fiorentina win.”

6.       On 11 May 1975, the penultimate day of the 1974/75 season, Fiorentina beat Juventus 4-1 – when the Bianconeri needed just a point to win their 16th Scudetto title. The legend goes that Juventus were so sure that they were going to get the result they needed that they had brought cases of champagne with them ready to celebrate. Fiorentina ensured the celebrations had to wait.

7.       Massimo Mattolini and Gianmatteo Mareggini both went down in Fiorentina folklore after saving penalties against Juventus. On 19 January 1975, Mattolini saved one from Oscar Damiani to ensure Fiorentina left Turin with a point after a 0-0 draw, while Mareggini kept out Luigi De Agostini’s effort in the famous 1-0 home win over Juventus on 6 April 1991.

8.       In a 15-year playing career with Fiorentina, just three of Giancarlo Antognoni’s 72 goals for the club were headers. One of these – perhaps the best – came against Juventus on 27 November 1983, Antognoni getting on the end of a Pasquale Iachini cross from the left. Both of Antognoni’s other headed goals were scored against Udinese – so black and white must be a good-luck charm for him!

9.       A memorable moment occurred in Fiorentina’s 1-0 Coppa Italia victory over Juventus on 4 September 1985. Daniel Passarella scored the winner from the spot in the 75th minute, but there were confusing scenes as the ball shot straight through a hole in the net and out the other side. After a few moments’ bewilderment, the referee awarded the goal.

10.   Claudio Desolati is the youngest player to have scored in a Fiorentina v Juventus fixture. His goal came at the age of 18, the winner in a 2-1 defeat of the Bianconeri on 7 April 1973. The second-youngest is Nicola Berti, who – shortly before his 19th birthday – scored a last-minute second in a 2-0 win over Juventus on 6 April 1986, after Passarella had bagged the opener on 57 minutes.
