As the Sassuolo head coach, I'm always looking for ways to improve my team's performance on and off the pitch. In our most recent match against Fiorentina, we had some positive moments but also areas that need improvement.
Firstly, I was pleased with our defensive display in the second half, which kept Fiorentina at bay until the final whistle. Our backline played well together, working as a cohesive unit to prevent any chances for the visitors. We were able to keep them out of the net and maintain our lead, which is crucial in securing victories.
However, there were still some areas where we could have done better. One area that stood out was our attacking play. Despite creating numerous opportunities during the game, we failed to convert those chances into goals. This can be attributed to a lack of precision in our shots or a lack of composure when facing goalkeepers.
Another area that needs attention is our work rate. While we had good possession of the ball, we didn't push forward enough to create more scoring opportunities. We needed to increase our intensity and pressure on Fiorentina's defense to create more chances.
Overall, while we had a solid defensive performance, we need to focus on improving our attacking play and increasing our work rate if we want to continue to compete at the top level. With a few tweaks to our tactics and execution, I believe we can turn things around and secure more wins in the future.
