At the end of the Venezia FC vs Fiorentina match, valid for Matchday 36 of the 2024/25 Serie A Enilive Championship and ending with a 2-1 result, arancioneroverde coach Eusebio Di Francesco and defender Fali Candé analyzed the match as follows.
Eusebio Di Francesco: "The boys deserved a reward like this. In recent games we came close to winning, but today we were able to make the most of the chances we created. It's right to enjoy this success, but starting tomorrow we’ll have to immediately focus on Cagliari: it’s going to be a very tough match in a hostile environment. We'll go there to play all our cards.
This team has always maintained high concentration, building a solid mentality day by day together with the club. Now we have to carry this spirit forward in the next 180 minutes.
Today we were compact, aggressive, and determined. The victory is the result of a decisive approach but also of the football we played: we created several scoring opportunities and took advantage of them. Our two quick forwards put Fiorentina’s defense under pressure, and the game plan worked.
We’re enjoying this win; it’s the result of our daily work and the enthusiasm we’re bringing to the field, but from tomorrow our minds must be fully on the next match."
Fali Candé: "We’re overjoyed with today’s win. We’re proud of what we did and especially of our fans, who were extraordinary in supporting us and pushing us toward this victory.
My goal came instinctively: yesterday in training I scored a similar one, and the coach encouraged me to push forward. Today I scored my first goal in Serie A I’m happy about the goal, but even happier about the team’s victory. Since I arrived, my goal has always been to help the group by giving my all.
Today’s success doesn’t change anything: we must keep working hard, staying focused on ourselves."
