FANS - “We need our fans and they'll be there helping us again tomorrow, as always.”
DE GEA OR TERRACCIANO - “You'll see which goalkeeper will start on the team sheet tomorrow. Personally I'm very happy to have a full squad available at last. The only thing that matters tomorrow is going through.”
TENSION - “I make mistakes every day. It's quite normal. I'm trying to do my best to give Fiorentina everyone possible. Tomorrow could be a turning point – that's certainty what we're looking for.”
JUVENTUS - “Our aim is to take Fiorentina as high as possible but we'll think about Serie A on Friday. Tomorrow's Conference League match is too important.”

FIRST LEG - “We've analyzed the first leg and we're ready to for the second leg tomorrow. If needed, I'll speak to the team as one of the more experienced players. I always try to help everyone.”
NEGATIVITY - “We'll need to be positive and light-hearted if we want to reach the next round with our fans. No one wants to give our fans a positive response more than we do. We do feel a sense of responsibility and I can honestly say that we'll never take things easy. We'll give it everything. Tomorrow we're going to need all of our fans' love and support.”
RESULTS - “Winning increases your confidence and self-belief. The results aren't coming for us at the moment but we're preparing for games the right way. Tomorrow we'll fight till the very end and hopefully get a good result.”
