Will Fiorentina Beat PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Quarterfinals?

By Anna Italia
                      FIORENTINA - PSV  EINDHOVEN 

While Fiorentina director of Sports Pantaleo Corvino would have preferred to play against Bayern Munich, the UEFA Cup draw has Fiorentina versus PSV Eindhoven.

I don't think PSV Eindhoven is a bad team. Actually, it is good for Fiorentina to start with PSV instead of Bayern Munich where former Fiorentina striker LUCA TONI is making great progress. 

The immediate reaction of Corvino after the draw was "I would rather have taken on Bayern.  Now we just have to face this game like any other, with pride, determination and honour.”

Coach Cesare Prandelli:  "We are ready to play against any team."  Hey that's the way to go. I like Prandelli's reaction. I know FIORENTINA can make it.  FORZA VIOLA.

There is the chance for Fiorentina to play against BAYERN MUNICH only if Fiorentina beat PSV and pass to the finals.  Wow, can you imagine Luca Toni delivering the winning goal for Bayern?  How will his ex Viola fans react?

The quarter-final first leg will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on April 3.  The second leg will be played at the Philips Stadion on April 10.  Winner will go to the semifinal against the winner of Glasgow Rangers and Sporting Lisbon.  Here are UEFA Cup Draw

1 Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER) - FC Zenit St. Petersburg (RUS)
2 Rangers FC (SCO) - Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR)
3 FC Bayern München (GER) - Getafe CF (ESP)
4 ACF Fiorentina (ITA) - PSV Eindhoven (NED)

Do you think FIORENTINA will go to the Semifinals?

- YES
- NO
- Why?

    This will be tough, I hope they can advance. The problem is that they are also worrying about Serie A and trying to get into the CL next season.

    I wish Fiorentina the best in the Uefa Cup but to let us Milan fans enjoy our fourth position. Guys do you really think Fiorentina can manage both tournaments? What's your take? Ah, Anna great photo and introduction, you are doing a great job with the blog.
