Today, the final of the Conference League, Fiorentina challenges West Ham
A final worthy of glory. A trophy that also serves for participation in the European Cups during the next season. The challenge between Fiorentina and West Ham in the Conference League has a lot in common.
Both teams last won the UEFA tournament trophy in the 1960s. Also, both Fiorentina and West Ham finished the championship outside the European zone, and triumph in the final in Prague is the only way to be in the international arena.
Vincenzo Italiano, coach of Fiorentina, said: “West Ham has talent and quality. They are physically strong and know how to play hard when necessary. They always try to recover the ball and launch counterattacks. We must be careful. In such challenges, the details make the difference. Any mistake can decide the match. Two finals in one season is a great achievement, but now we want to win the trophy”.
While David Moyes, coach of West Ham, says: “Fiorentina surprised me for good. They will play the second final of the Cup and this shows a lot about the work they have done. They are a complicated opponent, Italian teams are always difficult. We have a lot of respect, but we want to take home the cup”.
Fiorentina has written history, as they are the first Italian team to reach the quarter finals of UEFA. But, after losing the final of the Cup with Inter, the violets will aim to triumph in the Conference League to improve the European progress, where they have won only one of the four challenges for the trophy.
