Fiorentina finds Nzola and Belotti again. The Italian team dreams of Athens on the wings of its attackers
Nzola and Belotti, Fiorentina dreams of Athens. The truth is that everyone expected more from Belotti with whom the attack changed face and overcome many limits, but not the most important one. Sterility. The former Torino player had scored the last (and first) time on 11 February against Frosinone: evidently too little if you consider that Fiorentina had purchased him in January precisely to encourage offensive fertility. For the record, the class of ’93 had done worse, after twelve matchdays, only twice in his career: in the 2022-23 season with the Roma shirt, and in the 2015-16 season wearing the colors of Turin. Zero goals in both cases. The hope is that the second goal found at the Franchi can give him enough confidence to replicate in Belgium. But also in the championship, if possible. After not being called up five times in a row, Nzola also took the proverbial right path. Or at least it is the hope, which however has a foundation. Because the Angolan approached the match on Thursday in a totally opposite way to usual: determined and proactive. Italiano spoke about his attitude in the press conference after the match: «Immediately from the first ball he fought and won a free kick. He entered with the right spirit and was rewarded with the goal. When he has his head in order and wants to perform, he knows how to do it.” And whoever wants to understand should understand. Let’s see if the former Spezia player will be able to find some continuity in this final part of the season, because 6 goals in total in 41 games do not represent an exciting haul. Corriere dello Sport reports it.
