Fiorentina in flight, Conference mission. Celje fibrillation. Captain Karnicnik: “We want to impose our game”

"That we have to stay calm and play as we have played so far, also because for most of my teammates this will be the most important match of their career so far."

What are you afraid of about Fiorentina?

"We respect it but we are not afraid of anyone. They have strong players with great experience, we will do our best as we have already demonstrated during the competition". If you could take a player away from Fiorentina, who would you take away? "Easy answer, if I could I would take away Moise Kean".

From this season he is the team captain.

"Yes, I'm proud of it. It means that the club trusts me and that's the most important thing. It pushes me to give my best in training and matches."

Have you ever been close to Italian teams?

"There was some interest from Italy. I have an agent who works a lot in your country (Marcelo Simonian, ed.). After the European Championship there were contacts with Bologna but then they didn't materialize."

The return will be at the Franchi stadium. Feelings?

"For me personally it will be a great experience. I have never played in Italy and I can't wait to do it in Florence."

In the national team he played with Ilicic and Kurtic, two former Viola players. Have you heard from them?

"Not yet, maybe I'll ask them for some advice closer to the match. I hope they can come to the stadium. They've had a fantastic career and have given a lot to Slovenian football."
