The loss to Napoli slowed down the possibility to disattach from Inter, but it did not impact Juve's desire to win. Sarri's squad will take on Fiorentina tomorrow, a team that hasn't lost since Iachini's arrival, collecting two victories and two ties. It's a complicated challenge for Juve, and Sarri gave his thoughts on the match, as well as his comments after the Napoli match, when speaking to the press.
"I know little about the controversies. I think that it was an insignificant statement: I was only speaking with affection of a group that I worked with for three years. That work allowed me to arrive at the top of Italian clubs: Juventus."
"The Juve fans will be conquered with results, and the rage for a bag result and a bad presentation is understandable. The problem is the decrease of intensity seemed to have been overcome, but Sunday it'll be seen that we must still work on it. The numbers are not worrisome, because the journey is good, in Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia. Saying this, we all have the sensation to do better, especially in continuity. The drops arrived at the end of mini cycles, in December and January."
On the recoveries of Khedira and Pjanic: "Sami is proceeding with his recovery. These are difficult times to evaluate, it's early to assume his days of recovery, even if the road shouldn't be very long. Miralem only had a large contusion, he took advantage of recovering from the small problem he had. In these days he's training with us, so he's available."
On the sale of Can: "Since the beginning, I worked with 27 players without asking for anything. It seems a normal think that there can be two that are difficult to insert, they are natural consequences. This doesn't mean anything about his qualities, in a different style of play they can become fundamental. These are things that often happen with a manager change."
On the market: "Personally, I didn't ask anything from the club. The Juve roster is strong, I need to adapt to it, not the other way around. Douglas Costa? He can make the difference for us, we're pushing to arrive at the top of conditions, because it could move our balance."
