With several rotation players expected to feature, he acknowledged the internal competition for places. \u201cThe players who have played less will want to show the coach that he\u2019s wrong not to pick them,\u201d Goretti said, framing the match as an opportunity rather than a risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the start of the season we lived through a period of \u2018presumption\u2019, then came confusion, until we reached a dark moment that we\u2019re now trying to move beyond. It\u2019s time to turn on the light. From now on, everything is decisive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the transfer market, Goretti stressed preparation over haste. \u201cDecember is important, knowing that January is coming and Fiorentina must be ready,\u201d he said. \u201cBut before that, the club has to take an internal step forward to arrive there in the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n
