“Tomorrow we will step on to the pitch in order to win. We worked well and the start of the new year brings us this enticing challenge.

“We have to change the course of the season, that so far has been negative. I am not interested in looking at how many points will be needed to stay in Serie A, as all I’m looking at is three points tomorrow.

“Vincenzo Montella’s Fiorentina like to play the ball to feet, so we need players who can run and harrass them.”

Parma are under new ownership following financial problems, but Albanian international Andi Lila is not yet available.

“I spoke to his agent, who said on Wednesday he’ll be in London to resolve the red tape problems. It’s a shame he can’t play, as he impressed me in training.

“I also talked to the new patrons on the phone and we’ll see what gifts the transfer market brings. It is important to improve the quality of the squad, we know where we need to intervene and it’s just an issue of what options are out there.

“Antonio Nocerino? We don’t have the transfer.”

Afriyie Acquah, Ishak Belfodil, Massimo Coda, Abdel Ghezzal, Cristobal Jorquera and Jonathan Biabiany are injured, while Daniele Galloppa and Fabiano Santacroce sit out bans.

 

Parma squad for Fiorentina: Bidaoui, Cassani, Cassano, Cordaz, Costa, De Ceglie, Felipe, Gobbi, Iacobucci, Lodi, Lucarelli, Mariga, Mauri, Mendes, Mirante, Paletta, Palladino, Pozzi, Rispoli, Ristovski, Souza.
