Real Madrid loanee Franco Mastantuono has spoken out about the challenges he had to overcome early in his time at Fiorentina. In an interview with the Italian portal "TuttoMercatoWeb", the 20-year-old spoke about his adaptation process to the Viola playing system, to which he moved on loan this season. Mastantuono made 35 appearances in the Spanish Segunda Division last season, scoring 12 goals. Nevertheless, his yield at the beginning of the season in Italy was significantly lower. In the first six Serie A games he was in the starting line-up only once and was used for a total of 142 minutes without scoring a goal himself. "It was a bit difficult to integrate because it's a completely different style than I was used to. Last season I played a lot on the wings, I played with a 4-4-2 system where I could go out a lot. Here we play with a 4-3-3, which means that I have to go a lot more into the middle and receive the ball differently there," explained the attacker. However, Mastantuono has come into its own more recently. He came on as a substitute in each of the last five games, including the derby against Juventus. He also scored his first goal in Serie A against the Old Lady. "I needed a lot of patience to score my first goal. I knew that i I had to perform well in training to gain the coach's trust. I'm very happy that I scored a goal against Juventus and I hope there will be more now," said the striker. Mastantuono hopes that he will get more playing time in the future so that he can continue to get used to coach Vincenzo Italiano's playing system. "It's a nice style, even if it's different. I enjoy playing in this team and I hope to be able to play more in the future to adapt to this style even better." Mastantuono will have the opportunity to prove himself again next week. Fiorentina has an important game coming up next week, against Inter Milan in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.

What happens next

Mastantuono will continue to try to establish himself in the Fiorentina squad and increase his playing time. With his first goal in Serie A against Juventus, he could further gain the coach's trust. The coming games will be crucial to see if he can stabilize his form and have a greater impact on the Serie A club's results.
