The Violets have lost two of their last three home matches in Serie A, while the other game ended in a victory as the hosts. 
 
"I am very satisfied with the three points and for the first half, the second half was difficult, but in Serie A it is normal," Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano said after the win over Udinese.
 
"We have to fight up to the 90th minute. It was a great first half, in the second half we can suffer, then we added a defender to limit it. We wanted to win.
 
"We are on the matchday six, and we have to iron out our negatives. The approach right now is always good. When the opponents raise the pressure we have to improve. We have to be good at changing, adapting to what's on the pitch."
