Pablo Mari’s Unveiling at Fiorentina: “It Was Love at First Sight with the Club”

Spanish center-back Pablo Mari has been officially introduced as Fiorentina’s new signing. During his first press conference, Mari expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm for joining the Italian club:

“I’d like to thank the president, management, and coach for this amazing opportunity. I’m thrilled to be part of this project. The negotiations took some time, but when Fiorentina calls, you want to finalize the deal immediately. There’s a lot of work ahead, and I’m eager to repay the coach’s faith in me.”

Mari had high praise for his young teammate Comuzzo: “I’ve just met him, but he seems like an exceptional young player. I’m looking forward to working with him and the rest of the squad, sharing my experience.”

Regarding his current form, Mari stated: “I’m in my prime, which is crucial when such an opportunity arises. I have experience and want to use it to benefit the team.”

The defender also discussed tactical flexibility: “We have multiple options and can adapt to opponents and situations. I’ve played in a back four most of my career but also enjoyed playing in a three-man defense in Italy.”

Mari emphasized his commitment to earning his place: “No coach can promise you’ll always play. There are excellent defenders at Fiorentina, so we’ll see how it goes.”

On leaving Monza, Mari said: “It wasn’t easy to leave, but when Fiorentina calls, it means you’re doing well. I’m a professional, so I approached our match against them like any other, even with negotiations ongoing.”

Mari concluded by describing his connection with Fiorentina: “It was a quick infatuation. I immediately saw a desire to grow and a mentality similar to mine.”
