Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Pradè chatted to Rai following the Viola’s Coppa Italia game in the capital. “It was an excellent showing against a great side such as Roma, even though they’re having a few problems right now. “We won without Cuadrado? It’s not the single player that makes a team but the group. We didn’t have Rossi and Gomez for a year and the team still played well without them. We’ve lost a regular starter but we’ve brought in Salah, Rosi, Diamanti, Gilardino, Rosati and then today we saw Ilicic again. “A swap deal involving Destro and Gomez? There was never any chance of that happening. “Badelj? A smart, skilful footballer. We knew we’d signed a top professional and now we’ll see him grow into an even better player.”

Stefan Savic spoke to the media after helping the Viola to overcome Roma in tonight’s Coppa Italia quarter-final. The defender said: “I’ve missed playing and now that my ban has finished I can’t wait to get back out there in the league as well. We played well today, like we did in the league match.” Fiorentina will now face Juventus in a two-legged semi-final. “If we want to lift the cup we have to beat the best teams,” he commented. “It will be a great battle against a very tough opponent. “Why didn’t I join Juventus? Because I signed for Fiorentina and I’m happy with my choice. I’m young and I can develop into an even better player here. “Three or four-man defence? It doesn’t change much to me. I think I’m able to play well in both set-ups.”
