Fiorentina, Astori: "Juventus are a machine, but we're not scared. Higuain is the one to watch, he's merciless"

Fiorentina skipper Davide Astori believes his team is not scared by Friday night clash against their biggest rival Juventus. "Juve is way stronger than Napoli, on paper." - Astori says to La Gazzetta dello Sport - "We couldn't face a thougher opponent, so if we show ourselves scared it's game over. To get a result we'll have to play a flawless game, we can do it. Gonzalo Higuain is the main danger: he is merciless in front of goal". Astori also discussed his young teammates Chiesa and Simeone, who will lead the Viola's attack on Friday: "Chiesa needs to be himself. Many see him as Fiorentina's saviour, but it's a responsibility way too big for him. Simeone will end up scoring 10-12 goal this season, that's good for a striker of his age". Finally, Astori's thoughts on his future: "My idea is to keep following this path. Fiorentina are not as big as they were before, but the club believed that this was a necessary step to start over. I want to keep playing well to return to the National team".
