COMMENT: Underestimate Fiorentina at your peril!
It's as if Inter, AS Roma, Napoli and AC Milan are the only teams either fighting for the title or improving: what about Fiorentina?
The Viola are unexpected guests in this Serie A race, but they aren't gatecrashers, far from it: if anything, we risk making fools of ourselves if we keep ignoring them.
While replacing Vincenzo Montella, Paulo Sousa has found a situation similar to the one that Allegri encountered when he replaced Conte. The Portuguese tactician has taken advantage of the good job done by his predecessor, and has added something of his own.
The initial skepticism -even in Florence - was normal, but now the facts tell us that Fiorentina have a very strong team (and a better one than Inter at that), and that they can compete for the title.
The numbers are clear: the Viola have won 8 games out of 11, more than anyone else. When are going to open our eyes and finally view them as a bona fide Scudetto candidate?
