De Zerbi: ‘Benevento would have postponed Fiorentina match’
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
“It has been a difficult week for all of us. Astori was part of the football world, our world. It feels like one of my players is gone. It was really difficult to coach during these last few days and I am not sure whether I have prepared the game well or not. We offered to postpone the match, but it will go ahead and we will do our best to honour our commitments.
“Taking to the pitch will be complicated and the environment will be surreal. We are all in a difficult moment, and we would have gladly postponed the game. Playing just three days after the funeral will be strange for us and for them. Today I do not want to talk about football, tactics, game plans. Winning in a tragic moment like this against a team with a broken morale is not what we want. I would rather not play.”
