Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano admits stopping Juan Cuadrado will be key to beating Juventus.

Fiorentina are to meet Juve in the first-leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal this week.

Italiano said, "If they allow us to take a bike to chase after Cuadrado it could be useful (laughs).

"He is a champion, sometimes even if you double him you find it hard to contain him. We have to work well and try to support our teammates. They are strong and this is the truth.

"If you make a mistake, the great teams punish you. He in all two lost games (in Serie A) was decisive, so you need maximum attention when he gets the ball."
