Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella was delighted with their 0-0 with Juventus.
Montella felt they matched Juve's tactics last night.
"You can't hide anything nowadays and I've noticed that as soon as you test something out in training, it emerges. I had half a thought it might've been a trick, but fortunately the reports were right!" Montella told Sky Sport Italia.
"Both teams lacked that final move. I think the statistics show we were equal in everything and that's a positive confidence booster for us, as we technically and tactically were on a par with Juventus.
"Towards the end Juve began to impose their physicality on the game, but we held out well. They are certainly a stronger team, so we had to give something more to match them. In mentality we did that, but in midfield we were getting over-run as time went on, so I introduced another midfielder.
"Our characteristics mean we have to press opponents high up the field, as we are not suited to sitting deep and counter-attacking."
