After two recent draws against Sassuolo and Verona, Fiorentina have a bit of breathing room in the standings, but now they have to face defending champions Juventus. The Tuscan club's manager Cesare Prandelli described his team's state of mind during the pre game press conference:"To beat the great teams, you not only have to have the right concentration on the details, but at the moment where they give you a chance, you must have the boldness to take advantage of it. When we can hur our opponents, we must force a play"
Prandelli went on:"In these last two matches, we saw the right mentality, the desire to get passed difficulties. This is the mentality, we must just maintain it. The two draws at home are the fruits of hard work, mentally we are ready. We must all have reaching fourty points as the goal, if we all get into this reality, we'll see a different team"
