“Fiorentina from fifth or sixth place. Muriel? If I were purple, I’d be pissed off.”

An exciting end to 2020. After the draw caught in the last second against Genoa, the Fiorentina will face in BergamoAtalanta, fresh from the Champions League victory against Ajax. After that, the purple team will challenge Sassuolo, Verona and Juventus. Not bad. To talk about the Sunday afternoon race, Violanews.com interviewed the reporter Vittorio Feltri, Nerazzurri fan and lilies sympathizer.

Atalanta-Fiorentina, a very delicate match: how do you see the two teams?

Atalanta did a miracle against Ajax. In the Champions League they are behaving like a great team. Great performances on the international field a bit mortify the game in the league where the Nerazzurri are not as brilliant as last season. Sunday’s game is open to all results. Atalanta will still be tired for Wednesday’s game, so I am not so optimistic. If he can snatch a tie, he would be happy. I think that an equality can also be good for Fiorentina because playing for Nerazzurri will not be a walk in the park. He could not take advantage of the theoretically favorable calendar. He was also unlucky. If you don’t have a bit of c… in life, you don’t even cross the street.

Fiorentina is in the process of settling down, it does not shine as it deserves. It will be a mysterious match, it is difficult to make a prediction. There is a crisis of confidence in the purple players. When things go wrong, just one iota of error is enough to send morale undercut. Fiorentina have excellent players, on paper they should go up in the rankings, but now it saddens me to see them fourth from bottom in the standings. Also because the calendar It’s dangerous, playing against Sassuolo and Verona has become problematic, but surprises may be just around the corner. Very little is needed to regain confidence and get back to the center of the table, although in my opinion Fiorentina deserves more, a fifth or sixth place.

What idea did you have of Rocco Commisso a little over a year after his arrival in Florence? Many argue that it focuses more on the stadium than on the sports part.

I feel sympathy for him. I hope he has more luck and that he dedicates himself more to team play than to the infrastructure that is outsourced. I am sure that sooner or later he will get into the spirit of Italian football.

There is talk of a supposed casus belli between Gasperini and some players, Gómez for example. Isn’t the climate in the Atalanta dressing room more fabulous than in previous seasons?

Judging from what happened on the pitch on Wednesday, with the good win against Ajax, I don’t think anything serious happened. There has been a controversy between Gómez and Gasperini, but it is an accident that could happen in any other formation. I don’t see disciplinary threats on the horizon. In my opinion, the dispute between the Argentine and the coach could have some consequences, but it is destined to heal. And remember that Atalanta does not have six points in the standings, but fourteen and in my opinion they will go up positions. Even in recent seasons the team has gone through difficult times, but it has always recovered. I say this because I hope it happens even now.

There are some ex viola in Atalanta. I focus on Muriel. Many fans of lilies are sorry. La Fiorentina, from Della Valle, not from Commisso, was it wrong not to redeem it?

He scored a lot of goals, the last one, wonderful, in the Champions League. If I was a Fiorentina fan, I’d be pissed off. Also because it was not sold for a price that justified the sacrifice. It cost Atalanta relatively little. The mistake was evident because a player like this solves games for you when you least expect it. This is exactly how it was against Aiax, his goal left us speechless.
