Fiorentina owner Dalla Valle: I don't know what Roma's Zeman moaning about

Fiorentina patron Andrea Dalla Valle has had a pop at the wailing of AS Roma coach Zdenek Zeman.
Dalla Valle feels the Serie A is well representative of all of Italy.
“We gave ourselves until Christmas to understand what this Fiorentina side could dream of,” he said.
“Looking at the League table, the qualifying for the Champions League is an objective that we, along with five other sides, can fight for.
“That’s why I don’t understand Roma boss Zdenek Zeman’s claim that there is a northern wind in Italian football.
“His side is three points away from the Champions League zone…
“We are all there, clubs from the north, the centre and the south.”

Fiorentina is Gunning for Champions League: Della Valle

Andrea Della Valle, President of AC Fiorentina, has praised the performances of his team and stated that they will be looking at top three as their possible target.

There were great things expected of the Florence based outfit after they revamped their squad following a couple of mediocre and below par performances by the Fiorentina outfit. While commenting on the performances of his teams and their expectations at the end of the season, the patron of the Viola outfit went on to comment on the fact that they will be looking to be in the premier European competition in their next campaign.

Fiorentina had a massive overhauling at their club in the previous transfer window as they looked to pull themselves out of the rut they had been in for the past couple of years. Just last year, the Florence based outfit saw them pitted in the relegation zone during the end of the Serie A campaign. After such an abysmal campaign, they looked to get themselves out of this rut and invested heavily, along with firing their head coach of last year, Delio Rossi.

They hired a new head coach along with a new sporting director, with Vincenzo Montella and Daniele Prade, coming into the club’s new project, respectively. While commenting on their performances, he went on to suggest that he would be looking to perform to the best of their abilities and look to secure a place in the Champions League. ADV went on to comment that he was waiting to see how the club performed under the new management and leadership, before confirming their targets for the upcoming season.

He was quoted to have said:

“We gave ourselves until Christmas to understand what this Fiorentina side could dream of. Looking at the League table, the qualifying for the Champions League is an objective that we, along with five other sides, can fight for.”
The Florence based outfit are currently in the joint third position of the Lega with 35 points at the close of the winter break. While remarking on the performances of his team and the expectations at the club, ADV noted that there was great competition for top places in Italy.
