Davide Astori said Fiorentina’s showdown with Juventus this evening “needs no introduction. The fans let us understand what it means.”

“This game requires no introduction, nor do we as a team have to prepare ourselves emotionally, because the fans let us understand what it means the moment we arrived in the city,” the defender told Mediaset Premium.

“We are ready to put in a great performance and fight it out face to face with a strong team.

“It is our first Serie A match of 2017, so we need to immediately find that rhythm and routine, because we can’t allow Juve even a few moments to settle.”

The Viola saw last week’s trip to Pescara postponed due to snowfall, but they did squeeze past Chievo with a last-gasp penalty in the Coppa Italia midweek.
