http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/feb15f.html Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli is ready to take on a resurgent Roma in the chase for Champions League football. Cesare Prandelli為了保衛歐冠席次，已經準備面對復活的羅馬的挑戰。 The Tuscan side were a massive 10 points and five places clear of Roma just before the Christmas break. FIO在耶誕節還以10分領先第五名的羅馬。 However, today Prandelli finds himself locked in an elbow-to-elbow duel with his former club, who are now just two points behind in fifth spot. 然而，Prandelli卻在與老東家交手時落居下風，現在只領先二個積分。 Although the ex-Juventus midfielder has no intention of giving up the fight with the reborn capital boys, he is highly aware of Roma’s progression. 儘管他還沒放棄與羅馬的爭奪，但對於羅馬的復活有著高度的讚賞。 “Boss Luciano Spalletti has done very well, he deserves all my compliments and has really turned his side around since last year, ” said the Tuscan tactician. "教練Luciano Spalletti做得很好，我所有的讚美之辭他都當之無愧，自從去年年底開始 ，他已經把球隊改造得很好。" “Yet Fiorentina will do everything to stay in fourth spot, a position which has been achieved with merit, hard work and with everybody pulling in the same direction.” "FIO會盡一切努力保持在第四位，這將要依靠努力和每個人都要有相同的目標。" Fiorentina visit Roma’s neighbours Lazio in the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday and will be hoping to halt a run that has not seen them win away since early November – a 2-0 triumph against little Ascoli. FIO在週日將造訪Lazio，希望能拿到至去年十一月與Ascoli交手之來首次的客場勝利。 “We are looking to the next challenge with Lazio and the following games for the necessary points to reach the Champions League,” added Prandelli. “We know it won’t be easy but we have to take points from them.” "我們正為本週的對手Lazio在備戰中，希望能拿到確保歐冠席次的積分。" "雖然這不會很容易，但我們必須要做到。" The only cloud on Fiorentina’s horizon of late was the 2-0 defeat on Sunday by Livorno and Prandelli explained that the result was a consequence of fate. 但在上輪以0-2兵敗Livorno，使得一切都不是很樂觀，但Prandelli卻解釋那場的失利 是肇因於運氣。 “Sunday ably showed us once again that football lives and dies by chance,” he underlined. "上週日的再一次顯示出足球比賽因運氣而生亦因運氣而敗。" “If we had converted the penalty, through Luca Toni, when the score was still 0-0 then the match may have a had a different ending. "如果我們能擋下這粒罰球，這樣或許有不同的結果。" “But we cannot blame anyone because that’s the way things go sometimes.” "但我們不能抱怨任何人，因為事情有時總會這樣。" Fiorentina are mathematically in a race to finish second, but the Viola boss seems content enough with fourth. FIO似乎在計算要拿衝擊聯賽第二位，但Prandelli卻很滿意第四名。" “Juventus have almost got another title wrapped up and they deserve it because they play with consistency and work hard,” he noted. “However, it is still a fight between Inter and Milan for second.” "祖文篤定可以拿下本季冠軍，他們當之無愧，因為他們不但努力且團結一致。" "但米蘭雙雄將為第二名展開爭奪戰。" -- 如果客場還是一樣不振， 別說聯賽第二， 連歐冠席次在可預見的將來也會成為泡影....... --
