Vanoli: Fiorentina deserves more, but this is where we are now

The atmosphere is quite calm. The team is aware of the situation and knows our fate in the league still depends on us; tomorrow we face a side that played in Champions League and Europa League preliminaries, so it will be a difficult match. We are a close-knit group: football has positive and negative moments, and the key is to remain balanced.

First of all, I want to thank the manager for the faith he is showing in me. Regardless of my position, what matters is serving the team: I have the qualities to play as a winger because I'm quick and I like to take opponents one-on-one. It was my first time there against Udinese and I think I did well, but the important thing is always being available for the team and the manager.

Trust is very important for a footballer, and when you take on responsibility you must be aware of what you're doing. I'm happy with the trust I'm receiving; with Pioli I only played about 30 minutes, but those decisions are up to the manager, so I can only work hard and make sure I'm ready.
