The Fiorentina coach, Paolo Vanoli, commented on the 2-1 defeat against Inter, which occurred on the eighth matchday of Serie A, during an interview with DAZN. Vanoli expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, calling it "excellent", but acknowledged that the team still has room for improvement.
In his speech, the coach underlined that, although Fiorentina was unable to turn a 2-0 lead into a victory, the match was still "a great one" and highlighted the progress made in various aspects of the game. He also complained that he had to make sacrifices, in particular regarding the substitutions of Mastantuono and Jiménez, who were brought in to try to increase offensive pressure.
Vanoli asked the players to "keep their heads up" and continue to improve, referring to the fact that the team has been improving for two or three games. He reiterated the importance of not comparing ourselves with the previous season, but of focusing on the present and the future. The coach also highlighted the positive morale that arises from the results obtained, stating that the team must try to maintain this momentum.
Regarding Pongracic's condition, Vanoli admitted that he still had no information. With Fiorentina still fighting for the rankings, the coach closed the interview by inviting the players to continue with the same determination, aiming to overcome difficulties and achieve more ambitious goals.
