Fiorentina: Curva Fiesole charges the team for the match against Betis Seville

The warrior spirit of the Fiesole Curve will have to be put in place by the Fiorentina. A strong and clear message from the beating heart of the Viola fans, who yesterday evening gave yet another demonstration of affection to a team that has never been alone even in times of difficulty. Hundreds responded to the social appeal of the fans and showed up in the Maratona square, where the Fiorentina bus passed through and then reached the Viola Park for the pre-match retreat. Not a random location because a few meters further on, on the pitch Franchi, he was training the Betis Seville (widely caught by the chants before the arrival of the purple bus). As if to say: in the meantime we are cheering on our boys, but those who have ears to hear can already get an idea of ​​the climate that Pellegrini's team will find at the Franchi this evening. That in the first leg took advantage of the Benito Villamarin effect, but that now will have to deal with the fiery cauldron of the Franchi.

Halved, of course, but still with a great emotional impact. The ultras invited all fans to show up at the stadium wearing something purple for a thrilling chromatic effect. Fiesole also announced that it had not received permission to set up a choreography breathtaking. "In a state where freedom of expression reigns - explains the curve in a statement - the sacrosanct right to express ourselves freely has been denied to us. All this is just an obvious and useless revenge of the Florence Police Headquarters for the unwelcome choreography against Juve".

Chants, smoke bombs, flags in the wind. Many climbed up the pre-filtering barriers in front of the Maratona to enjoy a privileged position. Everything to convey even more to Palladino's boys - if there was any need - the desire to achieve the feat. The team appeared at the gate of the Maratona to fully enjoy the charge of the ultras. "You have to win" was the most popular message. Concentrated faces and already in the mood for the match. From Palladino to the senators. Dodo is in the front row, then the others arrive. De Gea is among the last together with Kean. Decisive men, on the night of the season.

Side note on the away tickets for the Venice trip. The Gos has authorized the sale also for residents of the province of Florence as long as they have a fidelity card. Several hundred will follow Fiorentina in the Lagoon next Monday.
