Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli confirmed his attacking strategy in a press conference, underlining the need to establish a hierarchy between the two main attackers, Mattia Pellegrino and Luis Beto, but leaving open the possibility that the two could play at the same time. Vanoli explained that, with one game a week, the team structure will gradually evolve, allowing the two players to offer different approaches in attack and improve their ability to finish chances in front of goal.
According to the coach, Pellegrino and Beto represent two fundamental resources for the team. “They are two players who guarantee me two different situations and who certainly must improve in attacking the goal, who must help us even more,” declared Vanoli. “They are important to the team and, if necessary, they will be able to play together in a match.” Vanoli's approach aims to make the most of the individual qualities of each attacker, while maintaining the tactical flexibility necessary to adapt to the different challenges of Serie A.
Meanwhile, the coach highlighted the lack of a real leader within the group, other than De Gea. “Sometimes there isn't a leader in a team and we all have to become one together,” Vanoli observed. He cited the interview with Fagioli, in which the player stated that he had to take on more responsibility, and specified that this does not necessarily mean saving the team, but playing in a simpler way and supporting the group. “Within this team no one makes you win games alone, but the group is the leader when you don't have one,” he added. Furthermore, he mentioned the figures of De Gea and Pongracic, the only Fiorentina player to have participated in a World Cup, as potential points of reference for the team.
Vanoli closed the conference by underlining the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility. “The group is the leader when you don't have one,” he reiterated, inviting the players to work together to achieve the season's goals. With the match against Como scheduled, Fiorentina is preparing to field its new offensive hierarchy, with the aim of improving productivity in attack and consolidating the team structure for the rest of the season.
