20 Fiorentina Players Called Up by Coach Cesare Prandelli for the UEFA Cup Semifinals First Leg RANGERS - FIORENTINA

            Rangers - Fiorentina          

I can imagine how Fiorentina players must feel a day before their big match against Rangers.  

Here are Coach Cesare Prandelli and defender Alessandro Gamberini during the press conference on the eve of the UEFA Cup Semifinal First Leg Rangers - Fiorentina.

Wow, Fiorentina is the only Italian team in European competition right now.  So proud of them!  I agree with defender Dario Dainelli that Fiorentina must  play without fears against Rangers. That's the way to go. 

It's a great chance for striker Adrian Mutu and goalkeeper Sebastien Frey to shine in the big scenario.  They had been having a great season and I think they deserve a victory.

Although Ufjalusi was announced to miss this match in the official website of UEFA, I see that Prandelli called him.  It must be that Ujfalusi is feeling better?

Who will be the ideal starting lineup?

    Mark, I think VIERI might emerge as the great striker if giving the chance to play.

    My line up.... you already mentioned it. We got the same. Second option for striker will be Giampaolo Pazzini.
