No Kean, no party: il bomber è fondamentale per la Fiorentina, c’è un dato che spiega tutto – SerieAnews
As much as 18 million euros for a player who scored zero goals last season. Not great news if the role he plays on the field is that of a center forward. In short, more than one was left open-mouthed, definitely surprised by an operation that many labeled as nonsensical, anomalous.
We are referring, of course, to Fiorentina, which bet everything on Moise Kean last summer. An atavistic lack of a center forward for several seasons now, not properly filled last season. And so, with the arrival of Palladino on the bench, the decision to bet on a physically structured bomber, as Moise Kean is precisely.
The class of 2000 striker arrived from Juventus amid general skepticism, the accomplice being his less than edifying numbers. Pradè, however, bet on him with his eyes closed, and Palladino handed him the keys to the Viola’s attack right away. A choice that turned out to be decidedly successful.
Kean, dalla Serie A alla Conference: gol a raffica e quota 30 nel mirino
From the very first matches Kean has shown that he is comfortable in the Fiorentina jersey, in the game and in the tactical scheme prepared by Palladino also to allow him to make the most of his possibilities. And it took very little for him to ignite and be loved by the purple public.

Heavily weighted goals in both the league and the Conference League that are propelling Fiorentina into an all-star season. In his career, his best year was in the Paris Saint Germain shirt: 17 goals in 41 appearances between Ligue 1, the Champions League and the French Cup.
Numbers that have already been beaten after a little less than seven months: Kean has already reached 19 goals with Fiorentina, 20 if we also consider the goal with the Italy shirt. In Serie A he is the deputy top scorer behind Mateo Retegui and has as his goal 30, largely within reach if he travels at this pace.
L’incidenza del bomber alla Fiorentina: che numeri
Surely the upcoming goal is to help Fiorentina get through the Conference round of 16 against Panathinaikos scheduled for tonight. There is to overturn the 2-3 cashed in Greece-a real final for the Viola coming off a loss to Napoli in the league.

At the Maradona, the number 20 did not punch the scorer’s card but put his foot in the purple goal all the same: his, in fact, was the assist for Gudmundsson’s goal with a splendid play behind the goal, almost as a center-back. In Naples it was his third assist in this Serie A but it is the goals that weigh beyond measure.
As mentioned, there are 19 goals scored in the Fiorentina jersey. As many as 15 in Serie A, three in the Conference League and one in the Coppa Italia. High numbers that underscore how much the Viola’s offensive production depends largely on the national team’s center forward. The Viola has scored 69 goals this season: 43 in Serie A, 25 in the Conference League and one in the Coppa Italia.
Calculator in hand, then, one goal every 3.6 came from Kean; an average that drops to one every 3.13 if we also consider the three decisive assists. In fact, 33 percent of Fiorentina’s goals have come on his merit. That is why the team’s hopes are pinned on him.
He has not been in goal for four games and has not scored since returning to the field after the head injury he suffered against Verona. The time has come for Kean to get back on track: there is a Conference to try to win and a fight for Europe to feed into the league.
