FLORENCE PREPARES ITS NIGHT. A CUP THAT IS WORTH DOUBLE. FIORENTINA MUST PLAY AS IT KNOWS. VIOLA IN ATTACK, JUVE IN DEFENSE. VLAHOVIC WILL FIND A FIRE FRANCHI. STOP WITH THE RED CARDS
In Reggio Emilia only the result was wrong. It’s not a detail, okay, but the Florentine one convinced us and left us with a good taste. Pleasant sensations for an appetizing night. Florence is preparing to live it intensely, with well over thirty thousand purple souls that will endanger the vocal cords because against the usual enemy, anything, even a friendly match, is worth double. Why return Vlahovic who until a few weeks ago was scoring for the Viola and now rejoices for his new team-family (the quote from the Serbian who has just landed in Turin): Dusan will find a fiery Franks, he should be aware of it.
Because throwing Juve out of the Italian Cup would mean a final after 8 years and would be the first for the Commisso era. Because the people who have a lily tattooed on their heart finally deserve great satisfaction. They say that the Franchi in form can affect the opponent a lot. On Wednesday, since the warm-up of the bianconeri, this will be the climate.
Juventus is stronger as a team, but not in terms of the game. The viola want to force her to come on their own ground, collaborate as they know. It will be the challenge between those who attack and those who defend. Between those who represent the new that advances and those who remain anchored to the ancient method.
In Empoli, in the thirteenth consecutive useful result in the league for Allegri, Juve scored 3 goals because they have someone like Vlahovic in front – reached the ninth multiple marking since the beginning of last season and twenty in Serie A this year -, but he also caught two foolish goals, testifying that the defensive maneuver, despite an often renouncing attitude, has some critical issues. Allegri has chosen the usual canvas, a sort of tailored suit for the Livorno coach: ball to the others and opportunities for Juve in the restarts. But it all adds up to him: Juventus in the fifth round had 2 points in the standings and today they have 50, playing like this or not playing at all like supporting his many detractors, he even made 48 points. Looking at the center of gravity of the Castellani match you understand almost everything: Empoli with 59.1 and Juventus 44.6 meters. The bianconeri are the paroxysm of cynicism: come, they tell those who attack them, and we try to break through on the counterattack. Without hesitation, without restraint: in the Champions League against Villarreal, balls flew sideways and in the stands, as if there were no tomorrow.
For heaven’s sake, there is no one to play and win, everyone adopts the one they like best. Fiorentina, however, is something else and will not be distorted. Fortunately we add, supported by the pride of aesthetics that has always been the prerogative of Florence. Fiorentina will attack Juve in the lanes and in the middle, but will have to pay close attention to the long balls, a specialty of the Juventus company, to bypass the high defense of the Viola.
Beyond everything, Fiorentina di Italiano will face the usual enemy face to face because this is the game and because few calculations are made in the Cup, the focus is on one color, purple.
Allegri will show up with 9 absent, perhaps Dybala will recover for the bench. The biggest problems in midfield. The complete list includes Chiesa, Kaio Jorge, Mc Kennie, Chiellini, Bernardeschi, Alex Sandro, Rugani, Zakaria, as well as Dybala. Fiorentina could take advantage of these shortcomings also because the return will be another scenario, in fact they will be played on April 19 or 20, in a long time.
The viola are fine, at the moment, they know they have a city behind them and they want the company, but they have to put the applications to a hemorrhage: that of the red cards. With Bonaventura in Reggio Emilia, Fiorentina reached 10 this season: an excessive load and it is clear that this cannot go on. He said it Italian and we stop at his words that we fully subscribe to. Football is played in 11 and not 10, even if the Viola outnumbered first Napoli and then Atalanta in the Cup. But these are exceptions that confirm the rule, it cannot continue like this and in fact with Sassuolo came the defeat at the end after Cabral, congratulations to the Brazilian, put the result back on its feet. Calm is needed because in this way games and points in the standings are compromised.
Now we just have to look out over this night full of adrenaline and hopes. Hoping that the sky above the Franks, around 11 pm, is a deep purple.
