Fiorentina players Fagioli and Mastantuono shine in victory over Venezia

Fiorentina has seen a resurgence following a 4-2 victory over Venezia under manager Paolo Vanoli. Midfielder Nicolò Fagioli has revitalized his season, playing a central role in the victory and earning praise for his vision and leadership. His improved form has reportedly placed him back on the radar of Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini for potential Nations League selection.

Nineteen-year-old Argentine Franco Mastantuono also made headlines by scoring a hat-trick, becoming the youngest Argentine to achieve a treble in one of Europe’s five major leagues. Mastantuono, who recently joined from Real Madrid, has expressed an ambition to reach 15 goals this season.

While the team celebrates recent success, internal dynamics remain a focus. New tactical hierarchies are forming under Vanoli, with players like João Mário and Victor Valdepeñas currently trailing the recent starters. Additionally, the club is managing uncertainty regarding defender Dodô, who remains available for selection despite cryptic social media posts regarding his future and expiring contract.
