Kean still goalless: Fiorentina wait, Napoli keep him quiet | OneFootball

Corriere dello Sport analyzed Moise Kean’s performance after the defeat against Napoli. For the striker, the evening at the Franchi turned out to be a bitter one: despite his efforts, the goal continues to elude him and the numbers are starting to become a warning sign. In fact, his last league goal with Fiorentina dates back to last May against Bologna, while his most recent goal overall was on May 25, in the match won by the Viola in Udine. Since then, the drought has continued, up to this third matchday of Serie A.

Kean, against Napoli he finds no space: Fiorentina’s offensive mechanisms are not very effective

The newspaper points out that Kean hasn’t forgotten how to score, as his performances with the national team show. The problem seems rather linked to Fiorentina’s playing system, which this year does not seek depth as frequently. This change penalizes the former Juventus player, who is often used to receiving vertical balls and attacking space. In the absence of this kind of supply, the center forward appears defused and less incisive. Fiorentina, on the other hand, struggles to produce continuous and quality attacking plays. The team creates little and, consequently, Kean’s opportunities are also limited. This context makes it more difficult for the striker to assert himself and become decisive again.

For Pioli, the challenge is now clear: restore centrality to his striker and find the best conditions for him to make an impact again. The season has just begun and there is time to turn things around, but the Viola cannot afford to wait too long. Kean’s return to scoring will be fundamental to relaunching the attack and giving new confidence to a team that needs its main attacking threat.
