"Vlahovic grows, tomorrow will be a bad one. Ribery hasn't been training for seven days"

The Fiorentina coach presents tomorrow's match against Parma at the Franchi (kick-off at 18)

These are the words of Vincenzo Montella: "From Reggio Emilia we take away a very difficult, very precious and very welcome victory. It is the first victory coming in a comeback and it is not always easy. Tomorrow we must remember it, I want to see the same conviction of the second half on Wednesday. Tomorrow it will be difficult, it is so. Parma is doing a good championship, it has done the same goals as ours. At this moment Parma is at our level, every form of energy will be important. The matches are now decided in the last half hour. Lirola is fine, there will be, Caceres no".

Su Vlahovic. "I'm enjoying it a lot in the last period, it grows a lot in training and in the game. He's a boy, like so many of us in the field tomorrow. I also had him play last year in decisive matches, but we don't charge these guys with too many responsibilities. I have already heard that it is passed as a phenomenon and is still not ready. It's growing, yes".

On the satisfaction of these first ten days. "Objectively I did not think, after having overturned the team, to be at this point. He does not speak of the classification, but of team identity. I didn't expect it after two months. Identity is strong, we have not taken on board. We have always been in the game, we lost recrimination. We made 4 victories in 6 games, as in the last 35 matches of Fiorentina. This is thanks to the work of everyone, including the company, but we have certainly not spent 200 million euros on the market".

Su Sottil. "He is an offensive attacker, but if he wants to play in Serie he must take a step on defense, then he has everything. He played because I didn't want to remove form certainties. He wasn't helped by the team on Wednesday, it's not like he hurt. We thought he could play Boga in that position, we wanted him to double up with Pulgar. We were just wrong to get it through two of us. With him on the field and Dalbert on the other hand is a bit like when we played with Pasqual and Cuadrado: moving a little we can go to 4-3-3".

On revelation. "I don't know if we are, Parma is doing well in that ranking area. Even Verona is doing very well. Cagliari perhaps still has a little more. Objectively, however, he spent it, because he had the strength to take Olsen immediately after Cragno's injury. Tomorrow I ask for public support, it will not be a beautiful match. We must be encouraged to the end, the details will make the difference".

Su Ranieri and Ceccherini. "Ceccherini is reliable, he also played last year. He has more experience than Ranieri, but he is left-handed. The choices will be made for the immediate and the future. Tomorrow we will have 4-5 boys who come from the youth sector, with only Church that has different experience in Serie A".

On criticism: "You sing it and you play it. From the fans I see support and trust. I can't please everyone, I also have to make unpopular choices. Well so that something is discussed, last year we discussed less nice things. It's fine for me to talk about Ranieri third on the left or the point that there is or isn't …".

Su Kulusevski: "He is a very strong player, he has always played in various roles. In recent games it has been moved to the middle. It has a hybrid position that can cause difficulties: we will have to be careful".

On the Var: "Mistakes are few, but when they are sensational they remain more impressed. When they happen to please you forget them, when they happen against you no. On the offside and on the goal-no goal has solved so much controversy. The right formula must be found, without losing too much playing time".

About Ribery: "It is a week that he does not train, due to a knee problem that has resurfaced. When writing and saying things, it would be nice to inquire first … I say this with a smile, sometimes they don't take into account so many things. We are recovering it. The fact is that when he plays he forgets he has a little problem, and even when he is replaced … Anyway from tomorrow he should start training again".

On Europe: "It's early for forecasts. After Brescia it seemed that everything was broken, while Inter also suffered until the last. Now we are talking about Europe again, it is part of our booth. I have to work, keep the enthusiasm lit. This is our path, thanks to the company and the players who put their soul into it".
