http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/feb3h.html President Andrea Della Valle has dumbed down Fiorentina’s Champions League prospects by announcing that they are only aiming for a UEFA Cup place this term. 主席宣稱本季的目標是進軍歐聯，藉此否認外界認為FIO鎖定下季的歐冠。 The Viola are flying high in fourth after an exceptional season which has seen them turn from relegation candidates to Champions League contenders in a matter of months. FIO在本季有著令人驚奇的表現，這使得他們從降級的候選人成為歐冠的大熱門。 However, although the Viola are currently in the last remaining European Cup spot with under four months of the season to go, Della Valle is urging a large degree of expectation management. 然而，儘管FIO已經在歐冠名額中長達四個月，但Della Valle對於教練們有著深深的 期許。 "We mustn’t even think about the Champions League," he said. "We must keep our feet on the ground even though Fiorentina have had an extraordinary season and confirmed themselves to be a technical miracle. "我們不能滿腦只想著歐冠。"他說到。"儘管FIO目前有著不錯的表現，但還是要腳踏實地 應付每場比賽。" "We must view the UEFA Cup as our goal and be happy if we manage to achieve it." "我們瞄準的是歐聯，如果能達成這個目標，我們將會很高興。" Fiorentina have been hovering in the top four all season but have suffered a comparative blip since Christmas, winning just two out of five matches, while fifth-placed Roma have strung six consecutive League wins together to move within five points of the Gigliati. FIO在目前都維持在前四名，但在耶誕節後陷入低潮，在五場比賽只贏了二場，在此同時 ，羅馬拿下了六連勝，緊追在FIO之後。 Della Valle’s is a refreshing outlook in an industry where results are all important and the price for short-term failure often a high one for Coaches. The shoe magnate has spent a large amount of money on players in the last eight months but still insists on taking the pressure off Cesare Prandelli, whom he recognises as having achieved a remarkable turnaround since arriving in June. 在過去八個月他花了大把銀子買進球員，但卻未對Cesare Prandelli施加壓力，因為 他認為自從Cesare Prandelli在七月來到之後，整個FIO就脫胎換骨。 -- 最後第二段不太會翻， 會的人麻煩補一下..... --
