From the Wind3 Media Centre at Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park, the words of footballer Edoardo Bove.

FIORENTINA - ‘Fiorentina will be a very important step for my career. The choice of Fiorentina is the best one I could have made. It's really fantastic to be in Florence and to work in a facility like the Viola Park, a Premier League environment’.

ROME - ‘For me, giving everything for the shirt is a fundamental aspect. I did it for Roma and I'll do it for Fiorentina. When you give everything on the pitch, you have nothing to complain about. I can't wait to meet the piazza of Florence and the fans. I feel a warmth that always pushes the players to give their best. Playing in an environment with the right pressure is a help to grow both as a person and as a player.’

SICK DOG' - ’That kind of nickname is a bit limiting, but it is thanks to Mourinho, the man who gave me this nickname, that I have grown so much mentally and in terms of my game. I'm young, I still haven't expressed all the potential I have. I'll do my best.

GOING AWAY FROM ROME - ‘I need space to grow and to become the player I want to be. I want to be a protagonist and feel important, to play with as much enthusiasm as possible’.

NATIONAL TEAM - ‘Wearing the national team jersey is an honour, but to wear it you have to play and so Florence has already made me feel important in these few weeks, if I work well everything can perhaps come as a consequence.

PALLADINO - ‘He has asked me for application, to assimilate and grasp what he asks for in the best possible way. I'm at his disposal and I play where the coach wants me to. Obviously my preference is to play in midfield.
