Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli spoke about Franco Mastantuono after the team’s 2-1 loss against Genoa.
Franco Mastantuono started for Fiorentina in their loss and was the subject of discussion after the match. Paolo Vanoli spoke at a press conference after the match. Here is what he had to say:
“Mastantuono? He needs to understand Italian football, but if he doesn’t play, he won’t understand it. You grow with experience. Franco is an important player and shouldn’t complain; that’s how you become the best. You have to know how to manage your status.
“18 turnovers are a lot, but the player who made them had to take that kind of risk. Besides, he’s a player with a nose for goal, as his shooting statistics so far show. It’s true he had an off day, but it’s also unfair to criticize a player for a bad performance and then praise him for a positive one, like in Venice.”
The 19 year old has started all six of Fiorentina’s league matches since joining them.
