Italian Serie A – After watching his Fiorentina outfit throw away a 1-0 lead to leave the Marassi defeated against Sampdoria, coach Sinisa Mihajlovic focused on the positives despite the results crisis which has pushed the Viola to the bottom of the standings.

“I have a great squad at my disposal,” he declared to SkySport.

“This team knows how to play football and today was no exception as we expressed some good stuff out there.

“Right now we are crossing a difficult moment but I am confident we have it in us to climb out.

“Our luck will eventually change but in the meantime its my job to keep the boys calm and ensure they don’t get too downbeat.

“This evening we will certainly be hurting given the manner in which the result was turned around, but from tomorrow we must forget this game and move on to the next.

“The side is working well in training and despite the lack of results I refuse to believe we won’t bounce back in the near future.”
