Paulo Sousa: 'Fiorentina can beat anyone'

Fiorentina head coach Paulo Sousa has suggested that his side have enough quality to win every match in Serie A, after his side moved to the top of the league with a 4-1 victory over Inter Milan at San Siro.

La Viola took an early lead over the Nerazzurri thanks to a Josip Ilicic penalty, before Nikola Kalinic scored a hat-trick to seal the victory, and Sousa believes that his side are confident in their playing style.

"Football is like this in Latin countries, it goes from zero to 80," Sousa told Sky Sport Italia. "I already said there were other teams who invested heavily for that, but I won't hold back either, as we have the quality to face every match knowing we can win.

"I told the lads from the start I want a team always ready to take on anyone, always maintaining our approach.

"We have principles of football that we work hard on and as time goes on this will give us more confidence going forward."

Fiorentina will take on Portuguese outfit Belenenses in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
