Former Fiorentina winger Martin Jorgensen says the Viola didn’t want to draw Napoli in the Europa League semi-final.
Fiorentina will travel to Spain to take on the defending Europa League champions on May 7 before hosting the crucial second leg at Stadio Artemio Franchi on May 14.
The chance of an all-Italian final remains as Napoli were drawn against Ukrainians Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk , and Jorgensen was happy with the outcome, though he anticpates a difficult tie.
“We didn’t want to draw Napoli,” he told Mediaset.

“We didn’t want to draw Napoli,” he told Mediaset.
“They will be two fantastic matches against Sevilla and we’re hoping to go all the way. Fiorentina are a team that knows how to play in Europe, but Sevilla aren’t easily beaten.”
The former Danish international also compared the current side to the one he was a part of from 2004-2010.
“The difference from the Viola team I played in is that now we’re a more European team, we have even less Italians in the squad.
“Fiorentina don’t have any fear when they play in Europe and they played a superb match yesterday.”
