Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli: Victory over Juventus sets the standard | OneFootball

Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli says their 3-0 defeat of Juventus is the standard they must meet.

The Viola ended the year with a surprising for with their 3-0 victory away to Juventus.

“When you achieve such an unexpected result, the self-belief grows and so does the confidence in the work you are doing. We must not be afraid of that," said Prandelli in his press conference.

“I agree with what Cristiano Biraghi said after the game, from now on we will be judged based on the performance in Turin. The real turning point will be when we achieve some consistency in results, but I do believe that now that fear the team had been carrying is a thing of the past.

“Obviously, Bologna present very different difficulties to facing Juve, as they are a more vertical team and have a lot of pace. It's going to be a complicated match and they never give up, just like their coach.

“We are mentally ready for Bologna, trained well and I hope to see the same attitude in the next game. We have found a precise identity now and that includes Borja Valero as a midfield playmaker. Putting him in charge allows us to push the other midfielders up. He's the professor in that role."
