8:05 – Fiorentina state after the first leg against Sevilla in the semi-finals of the Europa League for a nigh impossible task. It was 3-0 in Spain for the title holder, allowing the Italians to win next week at home with at least the same numbers to reach the final. That can coach Vincenzo Montella think.
Despite the broad defeat the coach refuses to throw in the towel. “To be honest, I must say that the team played a great first half and should have scored at least once,” he refers to the many opportunities that got his team in the first 45 minutes.
“We had four opportunities imposed, after Sevilla scored his first chance. When then fell 2-0, we left our heads down. But despite the result, we show that we are equal to Sevilla and that means we can fight for the final. I believe in a comeback, in my eyes it is possible. If Sevilla three times can score, why would we next week then can not we? “
The other semi-final in the EL, between Napoli and Dnieper, ended Thursday in a 1-1 draw.
