AC Milan vs Fiorentina Match Preview
Now that Inter recovered the leadership it's been made clear that the Diavolos have nothing to fight for in these last three weeks, as their ticket for next year's Champions League is already secured and it seems almost impossible for Leonardo players to claim the top, which now stands 9 points above their head. The team will soon be dismantled, as it's been made clear a long list of big names means nothing without consistency and regularity, two fronts in which Leonardo has been clearly compromised. Two consecutive defeats have jeopardized team's coach continuity, as Milan has still three difficult matches to take on, but this has not undermined team's players confidence, as Clarence Seedorf declared “There is no need to panic. We are third and it depends on what we do in our next three matches." Fiorentina will be the third of fifth obstacles the Rossoneros will have to face, and it does not seem likely for the Violas to leave the San Siro with a victory.
Fiorentina has also lost its last two matches, watching Napoli and Juventus climb towards the top, relegating the Violas to the 9th position with 46 points. Rumors of Cesare Prandeli leaving the team due to bad results have been vanished last week "All these rumors have ended up in the dressing rooms recently, but both myself and the other players have always remained close to the coach" declared Alberto Gilardino during the week. Riccardo Montolivo's brittle present reflects Fiore's, and Milan can be the executioner of a team that won't be able to stand against more blows. Team's supporters are giving up to their dreams of seeing Fiorentina fighting for an European title, and another defeat will be another bucket of cold water for Cesare Prandeli and his squad.
