Fiorentina produced a stunning performance to claim a 3-0 victory over Juventus, securing a statement win at the Stadio Franchi. Speaking after the match, Nicolo Fagioli reflected on the team’s dominant display and his own emotions heading into the game.
“You could say it was a perfect night. Beating Juventus 3-0 is never easy and it’s never something to take for granted. We’re really happy with both the result and the performance and we need to keep going this way.”
The Viola controlled the game from start to finish, executing their game plan to perfection despite having limited time to prepare.
“We had just three days to get ready after playing on Thursday, but we prepared really well and put in a great performance. I honestly didn’t think we would cope so well physically, but we dominated and we fully deserved this result.”
For Nicolo, the game held even greater significance, given his long association with Juventus. His motivation was clear as he produced a standout display, including two assists.
“I’m really happy with my performance, but even more so with the team’s. It was an emotional match for me. I spent 11 years there, I have great memories and I was so excited that I struggled to sleep last night. Now I’m just delighted.”
Fiorentina’s midfield was instrumental in the victory, pressing high and dictating the tempo.
“We controlled the game in midfield, but the whole team pressed aggressively and played with intensity. We’re very happy with how we executed our game plan.”
With an international break ahead, Fiorentina will now have time to recover before another crucial clash against Atalanta.
“Now, we have to focus on taking it one game at a time. We’ve seen that every match is a battle. Even against teams at the bottom of the table, nothing comes easy. We have to stay focused and give our all from now until the end of the season.”
