Fiorentina co-owner Andrea Della Valle believes his team 'have problems in crucial games', but does not blame the players for defeat to Juventus.
The Viola were steamrolled by the Old Lady yesterday evening for a 3-0 defeat in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.
Della Valle, speaking after the game, admitted Fiorentina have struggled for luck when it comes to decisive games.
“We are very disappointed,” he told the Press. “We were missing a lot of players and that made a difference. As usual, we have problems when we play crucial games.
“We confronted a great Juventus team, I have no reproaches for my boys.
“We must react right away, we have the championship and the Europa League.
“I am an optimist by nature. Twice we cheered for a goal but saw them both disallowed, it's a shame but that's football.”
Nonetheless the 49-year-old saw a silver lining in Fiorentina's overall performance this season.
“We do have the right spirit. This team is doing great things. On Saturday [against Sampdoria in Serie A] we expended a lot of energy and the lads suffered the consequences on the pitch.”
