What They're Saying
Juventus manager Max Allegri (via Football Italia): "What matters is that everybody is in a good condition. There are some Juventus players who have covered more than 30 games. This year, we have players who had much more playing time than last season, while others had a little less, but we have many games now and we need everyone at their best. Against Fiorentina, I may field the ones who played the most so far and maybe give them a rest on Monday against Sassuolo. The Coppa Italia is an important objective for Juventus. It's been 20 years since we last won it, so it's our duty to make a run for it."
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella (via Football Italia): "It's a special game for me. I felt that way even before coming to Florence. There are greater incentives to win, sure enough."
