Europa League: Preview ahead of Juventus' clash with Fiorentina in Turin
Fiorentina return to Turin on Thursday for their Europa League last-16 clash against Juventus (kick-off 8.05pm).
Last Updated: 12/03/14 3:29pm
Fiorentina return to Turin on Thursday for a second meeting with Juventus in the space of five days to play the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.
The Florence outfit fought hard but lost 1-0 to Juve in Serie A on Sunday to fall 10 points behind Napoli in the race for Champions League football next season.
"I want my team to pick up where they left off in the second half against Juventus on Sunday," Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said.
"I was satisfied with my team's performance and we have to have confidence in view of Thursday's match.
"Juventus are strong but I think we can have a say."
The Viola have been a force in Italy this season and can approach the tie with confidence as they are the only side to have beaten Juve in Serie A, a 4-2 triumph in October, while they have reached the Coppa Italia final.
In the Europa League, Montella's team topped Group E before dumping out Esbjerg in the last 32.
"I expect a battling Fiorentina," Juventus coach Antonio Conte said. "They will be determined to progress in the competition because they have little to play for in Serie A while we, in contrast, have a third straight Scudetto to work for.
"Fiorentina will try to put all that they have into this competition.
"Montella is a great coach and I think this tie will be a beautiful advert for Italian and European football."
Juve have the extra incentive of getting to the final because it will be held in their own stadium.
Moreover, they are keen to end their drought of European titles with their last coming in 1999, the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
"It would be fantastic to go all the way in this competition, it would allow us to grow from an international standpoint," Conte said.
Sunday's win, courtesy of Kwadwo Asamoah's goal, coupled with Roma's defeat at Napoli allowed Juve to take a giant step towards their third straight league title.
Juve are 14 points clear of Roma at the top of the standings.
"We are doing well but the Scudetto race is not over and there are still 11 games left to play," Conte said."We needed three points on Sunday and we've got that.
"Now we face the Europa League and this becomes the game of our lives."
Fiorentina, who host Juve in the return leg on March 20, will be bolstered by the return of Borja Valero after the midfielder missed Sunday's game through suspension.
The Viola will be without Spanish winger Joaquin, who is sidelined with a muscular injury sustained in training.

Convertible bonds are typically used by companies that seek financing at low rates of interest to limit cash-flow strain, through giving away upside to investors in the form of a conversion option.
However convertible bonds funds tend to hedge exposures in the equity markets, adding volatility the share price.

The thirteen artists up for the £20,000 award include sculptors, film-makers and illustrators working in the UK.
High-profile judges include Cornelia Parker, Martin Creed and the Chapman brothers. The public will also be asked to cast their votes.
Oxford-born Christina Mackie scooped last year's prize, her artwork praised for being "subtle, poetic and complex".
As well as judging the awards, Cornelia Parker, Martin Creed and the Chapman brothers also selected the nominees.
The panel of judges also includes artists Yinka Shonibare MBE and Gillian Wearing.
According to the organisers, they were looking for artists who "genuinely and uniquely demonstrated the impulses and relevance of the contemporary UK art scene".
'Incredible energy'
Cornelia Parker said they had decided on the short-listed artists because they represented a snapshot of the "incredible energy and range" of the contemporary art scene.
"We also wanted to create a truly dynamic exhibition and given that it is occurring across three venues this year, it seemed a great opportunity to support a wider number of artists," she said.
The shortlisted artists, who are all under 35 years old, will get a share of an £18,000 pot - with the winner taking the £20,000 prize.
Matt Stokes, from Cornwall, is shortlisted for his film restaging a Northern Soul Dance event in a church.
Their work will be displayed at three art galleries around the UK - ICA, London on 31 March; CCA, Glasgow on 8 April; and Arnolfini, Bristol on 13 April. The winner will be announced on 2 May.

Shadow Era - Trading Card Game
by: Wulven Game Studios • 42.9K

Published: 2013-04-26, by Peter Warrior.
Shadow Era brings the essence of collectible card games to a multiplatform arena where players can play by his own on an individual campaign or chase foes to duel. By the way, you earn and buy cards to strengthen your deck while looking for the rarer and most powerful cards.
Does it look like that-game-you-already-know that started-it-all? Hell, yes.
There are flunkey cards, stuff cards and ongoing abilities. Heroes and lackeys have attack and defense values and odd skills to lure, disembowel and bury their foes, which is always welcomed in fantasy games, don't you think?
UI is as eye-catching as cumbersome: you can't pinch in or out. You can't swipe or drag either, having to aim to a tiny camera button at the bottom. Rules are quite straightforward and can be learnt in a few minutes by anyone who has already played a TCG. If not, well, it's easy when taught or you know the arcane secret of trial and error. Strategies can be learnt on the go, as there are few enough variables as to not overwhelm players but not too few as for bore'em.
Shadow Era may be as fun as any other of its tangible counterparts. Having both modes -solo and duel- is a big vote in favor. It can be played for free as long as you haven't your heart set on this or that rare armaggedonish card. It's worth a try to revive old (or not-so-old) times, if you like and play TCG nowadays or if you want to have a first contact with them. However, experience might be disappointing when compared to top-notch arcade-like or modern strategy games. It's up to you. In fact, it's your turn to play, Mulligan allowed.

Everybody wants to know who the father is of the Nadya Suleman octuplets. I don't care. I don't care if there is one father or eight fathers or a tag team from another galaxy. What I want to know is why the fertility doctor involved in this isn't in jail or at the very least, has had his license taken away forever. Who is this idiot? We know that SHE'S a nut job, but this so-called "doctor" is much more than just an idiot, he's a dangerous idiot. An idiot that should be put away.
And who are these people anyway? This insane single woman who hasn't a dime to her name already had six in vitro children administered by the same jackass doctor. And another question; who will ultimately wind up paying for all this? Where will the money come from to raise these children? Do you think maybe it will be the state of California, which means all of us who live here? Aren't you glad our governor will be raising our taxes and license fees to pay for people like this imbecilic woman? When you want to work the system you just can't beat California for a great place to live, huh?
* * ?*
Here's another question nobody asks. Since Obama has put a pay cap on bank executives' earnings, why not a pay cap on politicians' earnings? Why not cap the freebies and perks that members of the senate and house get from lobbyists and other crooks on a regular basis? How about cutting down on the ridiculously large government bureaucracies? You can start with the Department of Education, which should have been eliminated years ago. And speaking of obscene paydays, let's cap movie star salaries, whadda think? Gee, maybe an income of 50 million a year is a bit much when the whole country is going to hell and people can't find work. Or maybe you think Cameron Diaz is worth that (reported by Forbes).
* * ?*
And since I'm on a roll, here's another question. How come when Bush sent troops into Afghanistan following the 9/11 attack on our shores, he was called a warmongering blood-for-oil lying killer of children, but now that Obama has decided to deploy an additional 17,000 more troops to that country we hear nothing negative about it? How come? Huh? Maybe Obama has determined that we need more troops to help in the important work of "air raiding villages and killing civilians," as he himself described the actions of our troops in Afghanistan during his campaign.
* * ?*
If spay and neutering dogs and cats was supposed to control the pet population, how come there are so many more dogs and cats in the US today then before the spay and neutering trend caught on? In fact, the increase in dog and cat population over the past five to ten years has been growing in humongous, obscene numbers. Even when human population gains are taken into account, there are still more homeless dogs and cats today by percentage then when my grandparents were kids. Nice work, animal groups! But I do think spay and neutering has its place. Two words: Nadya Suleman.
* * ?*
But of all the questions nobody asks, here's the big one: What is the deal with Oprah Winfrey? By that I don't mean anything that has to do with her personal life. No, I'm talking purely about the phenomenon that is Oprah. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I just don't get it. I don't get the whole Oprah thing. I've watched the show, I've listened to the woman, I've tried to get it, but I don't. What is it that hundreds of millions of people see in Oprah that I don't see?
I have nothing against her. Oprah seems to be a charming, sincere lady who handles her show very well, I grant you. In a business where you're hot one year and out the next, she has remained consecutively high in the ratings. She has been at the top of the television game for over 25 years. She is more than just enormously successful; she is the most successful person ever in the history of show business.
Oprah is undeniably the biggest media mogul since Flo Ziegfeld or Louie B. Mayer – maybe bigger. She is a billionaire several times over. She runs an empire which includes publishing, television, movies, various charitable organizations and heaven knows what else. She is probably the most influential woman on earth. Is there any doubt that her support of Barak Obama helped win him the election?
But what is it about her that has so captured the soul of America's women to the degree that they would follow her just about anywhere at any time on almost any subject? There seems to be a magnetic pull that she has on the female population. Almost like a religion, her female fans follow her teachings and advice on everything from personal relationships to dieting to spiritual fulfillment.
Oprah Winfrey has found the sweet spot in the hearts, minds, and souls of American womanhood and will undoubtedly hold on to it for many decades to come. I can't explain it. And I certainly don't get it. Must be a girly thing like wind chimes, smiley faces and candles.
