Italiano: "An Extraordinary Test Is Waiting For Us. Lazio Is Currently A Team That Is Aware Of Their Strengths And Is Playing Well. They Know How To Defend, How To Attack And How To Press."

Lazio will travel to Florence for the next Serie A match against the hosts Fiorentina. Coach Vincenzo Italiano is ready for a tough match against the Capitals, which will take place on Monday night (10/10) local time.

Vincenzo Italiano is ready for a tough match against Lazio as his side Fiorentina is currently trying to shake off their slow start to the 2022/23 season. The Viola are currently 13th in the Serie A standings, having won just two of their first eight games.

It must have been a frustrating start for the manager but an away win against Hearts in the Europa League has restored their confidence. Fiorentina now aims to improve their position in the standings ahead of next month's World Cup holiday.

Italiano discusses his team's fitness ahead of Artemio Franci's game against Biancoceleste.

"The team is in good shape, we are in good shape. We need to recover some players who are still tired and some who haven't played the full 90 minutes, but it's all personal," the manager explained via LazioNews24.

"Overall, the dynamics of the team are also good, so we have to keep growing and improving."

He commented on their opponent, Biancoceleste, and what was told to his squad.

"Lazio is currently a team that is aware of their strengths and is playing well. They know how to defend, how to attack, and how to press."

"I've talked to the players about it and tomorrow we have to give it our all and be vigilant, an extraordinary test is waiting for us."

Last season, the Biancoceleste won two victories against the Viola, 1-0 at home and 3-0 in Florence.
