End of the Line: Fiorentina-Cagliari

m_57_2

Fiorentina invite Cagliari to the Franchi to mark the end of a season of extreme highs and extraordinary lows.

Fiorentina close the 2011-2012 season with Cagliari at the Franchi. It'll be the year remembered for our three coaches, our devastating loss to Juve, and our miracle victories against Roma and Milan. It'll be the year remembered for when the Della Valle's woke up and realized maybe everything isn't ok with this team.

From tomorrow the Fiorentina of the Prandelli era is over. From the team, to the uniform sponsor (Lotto to Joma), to the boardroom, it's all getting replaced. Montolivo was confirmed today to be headed to Milan, and we might be looking at the end of the line for Boruc, Vargas, Gamberini, Ljajic, Cerci, Kroldrup, and many others that have become familiar names.

With Fiorentina and Cagliari safe there is very little left to play for, but Cagliari come off two losses to Genoa and Juve, and drew scoreless to Chievo last week. With everyone raring to end the season, they might lay down arms for this one. What it does leave is a great opportunity to try out some of the youngsters for next season.

Tomorrow's game features Acosty and Olivera up front (possibly interchanged with Cerci) and Felipe, Camporese, and Natali holding up the back.
