Reproachful words from Dzeko after signing with Fiorentina

39-year-old Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko, who transferred to the Italian side Fiorentina after spending two seasons at Fenerbahçe, described how he feels at his new team. Speaking to Sky Sport, Dzeko stated that his age is not an obstacle, saying, "Age is not important, I am still not someone to be cast aside. There is extra work that a 39-year-old has to do behind this."

Expressing his satisfaction with his first contacts with Fiorentina, Dzeko said, "I feel good, we are working very hard and we will reap the rewards of this later. My first contact with the club, my teammates, and the manager who came with me was very positive." Furthermore, touching on the team's goals in Europe, Dzeko remarked, "The Conference League? It is very important for us. After all, it is a European cup and we want to go as far as possible."

DECISION TO JOIN FIORENTINA

Dzeko stated that he did not hesitate at all when he heard about Fiorentina's interest in him: "When I heard that Fiorentina wanted me, I immediately said 'Yes'. We have goals and the Conference League is one of them. I care about this tournament."

The experienced goalscorer also expressed his desire to help young players, saying, "Even though I am 39, I want to work with humility. I also want to help the young players. I must add something extra to this club with my experience." Dzeko aims to both maximize his own performance and contribute to the club's development at Fiorentina.
