Vincenzo Montella did not understand Fiorentina’s approach to Napoli, but “we didn’t deserve defeat.”
The Viola were beaten 1-0 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi by a Gonzalo Higuain strike, twice denied by the woodwork twice and a last-gasp Kalidou Koulibaly goalline clearance.
“Napoli were superior in the first half, they gained confidence while we were timorous and I don’t know why,” Montella told Sky Sport Italia.
“We deserved to be in front in the first half, while after the break we went very close and in our best moment of the match Napoli took the lead thanks to their quality and unpredictability.
“We did everything possible to get back on level terms. A victory today could’ve given us that sense of security we’ve been missing, but analysing the game I have to say the lads can hold their heads high. We took on a great team like Napoli and overall did not deserve the defeat.”
