Mario Gomez has thanked Fiorentina fans for sticking with him.

The striker is finally coming good after a difficult 18 months.

"The last two years are something I cannot do anything else about, so I prefer to look forwards. That means our objective, which is to reach the Europa League Final in Warsaw.

"We are a team, we work together and I am certainly the kind of striker who needs a team that attacks behind him.

"I trust my team-mates will do the same tomorrow, as they always do."
