Fiorentina fell to Inter with a 2-1 result at San Siro. Inter's goal came in the first half, but Florenzia's team tried to recover, reaching 1-1 before conceding a second goal. The match was characterized by strong defensive pressure from Inter and moments of difficulty for some Florentine players, in particular Mkhitaryan, who showed signs of tiredness.
At the end of the match, coach Paolo Vanoli held a short press conference in which he praised his team's performance, stating that he saw a "great Fiorentina" despite the defeat. He underlined the importance of maintaining a positive climate within the club, highlighting that the entire team showed a serious attitude and a strong personality. Vanoli also explained that, although the team had two opportunities to extend the lead to 2-0, tactical management was not enough to consolidate the result.
The coach then commented on the substitutions made during the match. He explained that Thuram's introduction was an attempt to change the pace of the game, while Mkhitaryan was replaced due to physical difficulties. Vanoli also mentioned the need to keep the team "clear" and focus on its strengths, urging the players to remain calm and not let themselves be overwhelmed by the pressure.
Vanoli also expressed his frustration with Beto's performance, calling it "wrong" and underlining the need for a more solid mental approach. He asked the players to work more on their state of mind and to be more determined in subsequent matches. Despite the defeat, the coach reiterated that Fiorentina must look forward and that the team is ready to improve.
With this defeat, Fiorentina finds itself in a stalemate position compared to the previous year's points, with eight matches still to be played. Vanoli asked the fans not to lose faith and promised to continue working on training and strategy to bring the team back to the required level of competition. Fiorentina's next match remains on the agenda, with the aim of recovering crucial points for the ranking.
