Fiorentina vs Juventus preview - Carrera promises more from Viola
Posted Tuesday, September 25, 2012 by PA
Interim Juventus coach Massimo Carrera has warned Fiorentina there is plenty of improvement to come from his side as they look to maintain their 100% start to the season at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The defending Serie A champions have come flying out of the blocks at the start of the new campaign, while several of their principal rivals, including Inter and AC Milan, have stuttered.
A double from Fabio Quagliarella gave Juve a 2-0 win against Chievo at the weekend and made it four wins from four.
But Carrera has made it clear no-one is resting on their laurels.
"We've only played four championship fixtures," he told a press conference. "Yes, the other teams have started badly, but they also have time to improve and will do so accordingly.
"But there's also plenty to develop from our point of view and we'll try to work on this as much as possible."
Fiorentina lie fifth in the table following a 1-1 draw at Parma, and with recent meetings between the sides proving to be feisty affairs, Carrera is aware a considerable challenge awaits his team.
He said: "We'll be up against a team who will want to bring an end to our unbeaten run. We'll need to show the desire to take the game to our opposition.
"That's our spirit and the way we play. We'll go there to win, we never settle for a result and if we manage to score three or four goals, we'll do just that."
Carrera may choose to make changes for the trip to face the Viola having rotated his squad against Chievo, but whatever combination he picks he is happy with his forward power, and praised Quagliarella's recent performances.
"Our squad won the championship last season and we have strikers who are showing themselves to be top players," he said.
"We don't need anyone else and I'm very happy with Fabio's work."
