Its Fiorentina



Ajax discovered their UEFA Cup fate today, they have been paired with Fiorentina, the current #5 in Seria A. A progression to the round of 16 would bring a matchup with the Marseille/Twente winner. I don't know a much of Fiorentina other than Adrian Mutu's brilliance, but I'll assume that they play typical Italian football...our forwards will have to play their hearts out to score any goals against them. Ajax has not fared well against Italian competition recently, hopefully they can reverse this trend. UEFA Cup play resumes on Feb 18-19.
