Fiorentina, a potential European opponent for Ukrainian side Polissya Zhytomyr, continues its pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.

On Tuesday evening, the Viola faced off against Nottingham Forest in a pre-season friendly that ended in a goalless draw. Despite the lack of goals, the match provided several talking points - chief among them a moment of near-brilliance from former Shakhtar Donetsk full-back Dodô.

The Brazilian right-back came closest to breaking the deadlock, delicately lifting the ball over the keeper from 15 yards out, only to see his effort rattle off the crossbar. It was a reminder of Dodô’s attacking flair and his potential impact in the season ahead.

Fiorentina will play one more high-profile friendly, taking on Manchester United on August 9. Eyes will then turn to August 21 — a possible date with Polissya in European competition. For that to happen, Ruslan Rotan's side must first overcome Hungarian outfit Paks in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
