Prandelli fears wounded Juve
Monday 5 October, 2009
Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli fears Juventus could be something of a wounded animal when they meet in two weeks' time.
The Bianconeri suffered their first defeat of the season last night, losing 2-0 to Palermo.
They have now gone four games without a win and talk of a crisis has already erupted in the Italian Press.
“We will find a wounded team who will certainly be eager to make up for lost ground. But we are coming off a happy period and this group of players still has room for improvement,” Prandelli said in an interview with TV show Controcampo.
“I am curious to see how much we can produce at important grounds like the one in Turin.”
Prandelli also reacted to calls for him to play Stevan Jovetic, Adrian Mutu and Alberto Gilardino in the same starting XI.
“It's difficult to field them all together. However, I am happy with Jovetic's progress and I also think that Mutu played well against Lazio.
“These players can give a lot to Fiorentina and I am pleased they give me selection headaches,” Prandelli concluded.
Fiorentina currently lie fourth in Serie A, level on points with Juventus.
