FLORENCE (ITALPRESS) – Fiorentina are back after nine years to play in an Italian Cup final: next May 24 they will be Inter’s opponent at the ‘Olimpicò stadium in Rome. A just enough performance is enough for the lilies to manage the 2-0 success obtained in the first leg match against Cremonese. The Grigiorossi do very little to reopen a dispute that has never been questioned. However, Biraghi and his companions prove to be experiencing a period of low brilliance, perhaps disappointing the over 31,000 spectators who arrived at the ‘Franchì and authors of a thrilling choreography in the pre-match. In fact, Fiorentina finds it very difficult to impose their game at the start of the game because the Viola, with the initial renunciation of Amrabat and Martinez Quarta, both cautioned and on the bench, as well as that of Bonaventura, who is injured, choose slow rhythms which are accompanied by many errors in the construction phase, with Castrovilli and above all Barak never finding the right play. La Cremonese closes and tries to restart, very often looking for the systematic foul at the start of the action and adapting to the style of play of the landlords.
The lilies shoot very little on goal so much so that Sarr doesn’t have to make interventions in the first 45 ‘. He didn’t change the register in the second half with the entrances, in the Cremonese area, of Valeri immediately after the interval and Dessers. The Italian waits for the 65th minute to give space to Sottil for Ikonè, while Ranieri has to relieve the injured Igor. Fiorentina collects corners, they will be 12 in the end, but shoot little on goal also because the guests are very good at gathering in front of Sarr and not allowing spaces. The best action of the Italian men is a sort of counter-attack 15’ from the end with Cabral good at receiving the ball, defending it, and then serving Nico Gonzalez whose conclusion on the edge of the area comes out not far to the right of Sarr. Shortly after, Castrovilli was also out for Amrabat and the lilies who went in a generous search for a goal that Sottil nearly missed in front of goal in the 84th minute. The result does not unlock, thus arriving at the final triple whistle from Marinelli for the final 0-0, with Cremonese who can leave the field with their heads held high, while for Fiorentina there is double joy for having won access in the final of the Italian Cup and in the final four of the Italian Super Cup.
