Fiorentina hosts Frosinone at the Stadio Artemio Franchi for their home league opener, a match that also marks the club's centenary celebrations. The team, under coach Fabio Grosso, seeks to recover from a significant defeat against Roma earlier in the week.
The club is also navigating a complex transfer window. Striker Moise Kean, who was reportedly close to joining Como, remains with the team as Fiorentina searches for a replacement. The club is reportedly pursuing former Udinese forward Beto, for whom an official offer has been made to Everton, and former Bologna player Zirkzee, currently with Manchester United, though they prefer a loan with an option to buy for the latter.
Coach Grosso acknowledged the team's need for improvement but emphasized the importance of showcasing their qualities. "We still need to improve in many things," he stated, "but we must manage to bring out our qualities already. We are in sync with the club, the goal is to have double players per role."
What will happen is still all in evolution. We all make naivety and mistakes but as I said at the time to Moise, up to this moment, he has always behaved well. Anyway, now the priority is to have a good game tomorrow and move the standings, we know how much anticipation there is from the fans.
The centenary festivities are planned for after the match, including a parade of former Fiorentina legends like Batistuta and Dunga, along with a light and pyrotechnic show. The Curva Fiesole fan group will present a choreography before the game, and the team will wear a special white and red commemorative jersey.
Meanwhile, Frosinone faces its own challenges, particularly with winger Ghedjemis, who has been excluded from the squad for transfer-related reasons. Despite being a key player in their promotion last season, Ghedjemis's potential move to Monaco has stalled, leading to his continued absence from the team.
We still need to improve in many things, but we must manage to bring out our qualities already. We are in sync with the club, the goal is to have double players per role.
