1000 Serie A wins for Fiorentina and 250 victories in Della Valle era

Sunday’s 5-3 success at Verona saw Fiorentina simultaneously conquer two important milestones: the club’s 1000th victory in Serie A and win number 250 under the Della Valle family’s ownership.

Andrea Della Valle said to Violachannel.tv: “This target could not have been honoured in any better way. I’m proud that my family has reached this historic landmark and I’m sure that we’ll go on to achieve even more great results because we’re on the right path.”

PRIMAVERA, INZAGHI TO THE MILAN CHANNEL: “Incredible comeback, we should be proud”

MILAN – Filippo Inzaghi spoke to the Milan Channel following the Primavera’s 3-3 draw against Padova this afternoon:“There’s still hope for second place and today we did something fantastic. We attacked for the whole game and we scored three in 15 minutes. The reaction was good and today another player born in ’98 made his debut. All the strikers are out for the next match but we’ll make do. We have three important matches coming up but maybe we’re a bit tired now. We’ll try for second place and if not, the play-offs.It’s normal to struggle after three matches in a week but the players did well to turn the result around. They were fantastic. We have a lot of good young players and the future is all theirs. After the Viareggio tournament and UEFA Youth League, despite the absences we’re still playing for second place. We should be proud of that”.
