                                 Toldo: "I'll never forget Florence"

              After the game against Atalanta, Francesco Toldo, the goalkeeper of Fiorentina and the national team,
              walked torwards the curve "Fiesole" - the center of the Viola fans, cried and threw his jersey to the fans.

              For some mintues, the fans have forgotten about the keeper's going to Barcelona. Before leaving the
              stadium, Toldo, who was moved by the emotion, said some words to thank Florence and the Fiorentine
              who, in eight years, have clipped an important space for the best goalkeeper of the world.

              "I don't want to speak - he asserts - I will be more silent this week. Now I'm very moved. To leave
              Florence after eight years is not an easy thing. I will never forget the city and the fans."
