Borja Valero does not fear the challenge posed by Roma as Fiorentina kick their Serie A season off against the capital club on Saturday.
The Viola travel to Rome to take on Rudi Garcia’s men in their opening match of the new campaign, but the Spanish midfielder is not scared by their undoubted quality.
“Roma? I think we’re two teams that are alike,” he told reporters. “So often we have come unstuck against them, but we know who we are and we’re not scared.
“They have made some good signings, but we’re on the same level.”
The former Villarreal man then commented on the Tuscan outfit’s ambitions for the season and 2014’s Coppa Italia final, where one Napoli fan was shot before the clash at Stadio Olimpico.
“I still see Juventus” data-scaytid=”15″>Juventus being the favourites to win the League this time. Roma and Napoli won’t be far behind and I also think that Inter could do great things.
“We are an ambitious side and I think the club are doing great things. We will try to get a Champions League place – that’s what we’re aiming for.
“The final? No one thinks of that as a final. It wasn’t football, it was madness.”
