Juventus Coach Max Allegri isn’t thinking about the Tottenham Hotspur game – “to get out of Florence with three points you need to play a serious game”.
The Bianconeri return to Champions League action on Tuesday, but first must face the febrile atmosphere of the Stadio Artemio Franchi as they take on Fiorentina tomorrow night.
“We’re thinking about tomorrow,” Allegri underlined in his pre-match Press conference.

The Bianconeri return to Champions League action on Tuesday, but first must face the febrile atmosphere of the Stadio Artemio Franchi as they take on Fiorentina tomorrow night.
“We’re thinking about tomorrow,” Allegri underlined in his pre-match Press conference.
“It’s an important match for us to get three points, and for them it’s a match of great rivalry, the match that they experience with huge desire, with the enthusiasm to beat Juventus.
“Last year they succeeded because we lost 2-1, so it’ll be a difficult game, also because they’re coming off a good win.
“They have a young team with great quality. Fiorentina are second in the Italian league for shots per game, and they have a young player in [Federico] Chiesa who has these characteristics.
“So to get out of Florence with three points you need to play a serious game. Only after that will we rest, recover, and think about Tottenham.”
It’s a difficult 10 days for Juventus, as they face the Viola, then Spurs, then the Derby della Madonnina with Torino.
“To get to the end and win the league I think you need to pick up a lot of points, given the average that Napoli are doing and that Juventus are doing.
“If we think that from tomorrow until the game with Spal – because we have to go to Ferrara, it’s the last game before the international break – we have a lot of matches and games against good teams.
“You have to take them one at a time, tomorrow the best team will be on the pitch to play the match and win.
“Then, after tomorrow, we’ll think about Spurs and we’ll face them with the intention of progressing and building the foundations to do that.”
