Vanoli: "Penalty aside, Valdepenas played very well"

Vanoli praised Fiorentina's performance despite losing to Inter in stoppage time, saying his team deserved better after dominating for 90 minutes.

Fiorentina manager Paolo Vanoli expressed frustration after his side's 90-minute dominance was undone by Inter's late winner in stoppage time at San Siro. "It's right to be angry since we were ahead until the 90th minute," Vanoli said in his post-match press conference. "I'm keeping the team's attitude and the many chances we created. I saw a great Fiorentina — this is the road to achieving something important, an objective my players deserve to reach."

Vanoli also addressed striker Beto's continued struggles, saying he felt compelled to offer psychological support to the important player. On left-back Valdepenas, who conceded a penalty, Vanoli noted he had performed well until that error and has potential to become important for the club. Despite the loss, Vanoli remained optimistic about Fiorentina's trajectory, pointing to their recent performances against Como and Inter as evidence of progress.
