Camporese was not fit and Montella fielded his usual 3-5-2 making two changes with Llama replacing Pasual on the left and Toni up front instead of Ljajic. “We are well aware of our ambitions,” Vincenzo Montella told Skynews after a match that towards the end had supporters on the Fiesole terrace singing the manager’s praises.
“Everything will depend on how well we train and prepare for the various matches. In the first half today we faltered due to Cagliari’s speed and aggressiveness. They did well to put us under pressure and we had to work hard to organise our game. In the second half we played first class soccer and in the end achieved a great result with Jovetic as the decisive player when it mattered most.” (Agi)
