Fiorentina don start their preseason schedule for real today with a friendly match against AS Gubbio. The game dey happen at the Viola training ground, and e be the first proper scrimmage under new coach Grosso.
Gubbio na Serie C side wey get some Viola connections. Midfielder Federico Carraro bin dey highly rated as a youth prospect 15 years ago. Right back Nicolò Fazzi don spend time for Serie A rosters. Center back Leonardo Baroncelli dey spend his second straight season on loan with Gubbio.
The match no dey available for live stream anywhere wey I fit find, but Fiorentina official website get live commentary. Fans go fit follow the action through audio.
Some squad numbers dey look odd, like Dodô wearing number 3 and Albert Guðmundsson wearing number 9. But na just preseason, so no too read meaning into am. E normal for warmup games.
Fiorentina line up for 4-3-3 formation: de Gea for goal; Fortini, Ranieri, Drăgușin, and Dodô for defense; Ndour, Mandragora, and Atta for midfield; Guðmundsson, Piccoli, and Brescianini for attack.
Gubbio coach Domenico di Carlo dey experiment with his lineup, so e hard to know exactly how dem go play. But na friendly, so both sides go test different things.
