Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano has said that his team must be aware that they are facing the strongest side in the league when they take on Inter on Saturday, according to a report in the Italian media.

Speaking during an interview with Fiorentina Weekly, part of the club’s official media operation, via FCInternews, Vincenzo Italiano showed he rates Inter very highly.

“They will certainly be a different opponent than the last ones we faced. At the home of the Italian champions, we must be aware that we are playing against the strongest team.”

He also said that the Nerazzurri have quality in every part of the team: “Inter have quality in all departments and a lot of physicality. We must try in every way to give little and be proactive.”

Whilst Vincenzo Italiano is clearly very wary of the threat that Inter pose, he will know that his team are in good form and are a serious contender to quality for the Europa League this season.

La Viola will be able to hurt Inter if the Nerazzurri are not at the top of their game. It is no secret that Inter are not in good form and Fiorentina will be sensing an opportunity.
