Montella: Fiorentina players enjoyed South American tour

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella says their tour of South America was a great experience.

The Viola won the Copa EuroAmericana in Peru last night, following up on a victory over Estudiantes in Argentina and 2-1 loss to Brazilians Palmeiras.

"It was a good game against a team that sat back and made it difficult for us with their pace on the counter," said the Coach.

"I hope it was entertaining for the fans, we enjoyed ourselves and I am pleased with the victory.

"We are going through a moment of construction, while Universitario are at a more advanced stage.

"I was pleased with this South American tour, as I saw teams that were much more tactically organised than I expected."
