Juventus coach Max Allegri believes his players need to toughen up.

The Bianconeri have lost their last two Serie A games and meet Fiorentina this weekend.

“Fiorentina are doing really well, they play good football, they are aggressive and they have a great coach," Allegri said at a pre-match press conference.

“Almost all players are available except Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio.

“Juventus are an exceptional team, but we must improve in many circumstances," the coach admitted.

“We should not concede goals even when we score four. I feel that we are still too soft defensively, while we've improved in the opponents' half. Balance is needed.

“We reached the first target of the season by qualifying for the last 16, but we are behind in the Champions League. We need to keep our mouths shut and work hard.

“We can play with offensive players, but they need to help defensively," Allegri added.

“To get consistent results in Serie A, you must work on both phases. Now, we must forget about the Champions League and focus on the next game, this must be the normality.

“A win doesn't change our season, we need to take a step forward mentally. We need a different attitude when we take the lead. We turn the light off after we score and we give the feeling that the game is over.

“This way, we become vulnerable and we must raise the attention in that moments."
