Here’s a selection of Vincenzo Montella’s comments from his post-match press conference after Fiorentina beat Tottenham 2-0 to qualify for the Europa League round of 16: “What does this win mean? We’re very happy with it, the lads and the fans all deserve huge credit. We don’t have much time to celebrate though because we have another crunch match coming up on Sunday. “Gomez, Salah or Neto? We were very organised today in our play today and everyone played their part in that. I’d also like to thank the players who aren’t on the UEFA list for getting behind us throughout the game. “Neto’s save? It wasn’t an easy game for him. He showed how professional he is while reminded us of his ability. He made a key save at a difficult stage of the match. “Inter and the next round? I hope we don’t get drawn against an Italian side. Inter are in great form at the moment and they’re brimming with confidence.” ]]>

We’re playing well as a team and we want to go on like this. “Can we reach the Europa League final? Let’s worry about the last 16 for now.”
