Fiorentina coach Italiano: We need show fight against Juventus

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano admits they must shake off defeat to Udinese ahead of facing Juventus.

The Zebrette meet Juve later today.

"We are going from not being able to enjoy the fantastic performance against Napoli to shelving the disappointment with our defeat to Udinese," said Italiano in his press conference.

“We mustn't get too negative or positive, but learn from everything we go through. Udinese was a really avoidable defeat, we need to really battle with Juventus."

Luka Jovic is on-loan from Real Madrid, but is struggling for form.

Italiano continued: “There are some players who at this moment cannot play two games in six days and Jovic is one of them. We rested him midweek and I think he can be fresh tomorrow to face Juventus.

“We tend to get into the final third well, but then can't finish our chances. We simply have to do better in front of goal."
