01 September 2022

Viola coach Vincenzo Italiano speaks ahead of Fiorentina v Juventus, that will take place at 15:00CET at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday 3 September.

"We have four centre-backs, two left footed, two right footed, Ranieri is the fourth centre-back. We have kept Kouame and Zurkowski, they did well, need to work and improve, but did well in pre-season. We'll try do our best now.

We didn't have to enjoy what we did agains Napoli, as we play every three days, and in the same way we need to forget the loss at Udinese. We need to react. 

We need to start scoring goals, we spoke about it, we need to be clinical. We need to be ready, every player needs to be ready. 

Against Juventus we need to give them a tough time, to keep their qualities to a minimum. They have plenty of quality players. We need to think about ourselves and what we need to do.

Juventus are a strong side. It will be a battle. We know how important it is for Florence and for our position in the standings."
