Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri was happy with the spirit shown for their 0-0 draw at Fiorentina.

Sarri made his first competitive appearance on the touchline after recovering from pneumonia.

“We didn't put in a good quality performance, it was a very complicated situation, as Fiorentina played well and we used up all our substitutions with injuries and had no more fresh legs to introduce," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.

“With all those variables, we did well in terms of character to get a point out of it. We lost possession too many times, which may also be a consequence of physical issues. Playing in mid-afternoon in Florence when it's realistically still summer is tough for everyone."
