After turning things around since his arrival at Livorno, coach Serse Cosmi has urged his side to make another leap up the standings with a result on Sunday against fellow Serie A returnees Bari.

“As I have said on more than one occasion, the game with Bari is a massive encounter for us,” he declared to CorrieredelloSport.

“Now I want a response from my boys on the field. We are slightly weakened following a number of recent injuries, but we mustn’t look for alibis. Everyone is dealing with similar problems in this testing moment of the season.

“Against Bari we will get a better understanding of whether we have ironed out the problems which left the side bottom of the standings not so long ago. I want to see some fluid play from my side and we must try and play our own game for the duration of the encounter,” he concluded.
