The Tuscan side are eigth in the table, having taken just 26 points from 17 games, and have lost the last two consecutive matches.

"The defeat last night against Lazio? The more I look the more I think this team is equipped to compete against any opponent," Corvino told firenzeviola.it.

"In Genoa we had [Nikola] Kalinic, [Josip] Ilicic and many important players on the bench but we coped equally to a team that is doing well.

"Each game has its own story, we have to analyse certain situations, but the disappointment after yesterday's defeat is huge, for all of us.

"This Fiorentina can take some satisfaction however, and when everyone is fit we can win against anyone.

"We are saddened, but we have to start trying to get back to winning through our performances immediately.

"Is Paulo Sousa’s future in the balance? We can not talk about this after every defeat, we must talk football.

"Optimism is born from winning and this team needs to improve performances."
