For some time now the striker of Fiorentina Christian Kouame he has become a fundamental piece on the Viola coach’s board Vincenzo Italiano. His speed and flexibility on the offensive front make him an element that Italiano has shown he does not want to do without since he returned from the Africa Cup and from his recovery after contracting malaria. His return to the starting lineup and the subsequent confirmations probably surprised some, but the guarantees provided by the Ivorian player have always been fundamental for the Viola coach.
Italiano’s reliable and at the same time unpredictable pawn
Speed, attacking ideas and a spirit of sacrifice pay off Kouame a reliable but also unpredictable player. He won’t be the double-digit striker he would, and will, undoubtedly need Florentine but if the coach has often preferred him to other players in the squad there is more than one reason. Never wrong or out of place behaviour, but a lot of self-sacrifice and commitment on the pitch. All characteristics that would have been useful in that part of the season in which he was absent. But now the focus is entirely on the present, and also on the future.
Kouame wants to stay in purple, the ball passes to the management
At the moment there is no news on what the player’s future could be. His agreement with the Florentine as is known, it expires in June, but for the moment the issue remains stalled. It should be noted that the first admirer of Kouame it’s the same Italian, but given his increasingly probable departure this factor can have very little impact on the issue in general. Fiorentina certainly needs as many goals as possible from the entire attack right now. What if the ex Genoa proves to be even more incisive and decisive in these remaining matches, it is possible that the management could be convinced to let him remain in purple. And we are sure that this choice for Kouamewho had already had the opportunity to get to know Florence since he was a boy through his experience at Sestoafter marriage and the birth of his son on the banks of the Arno it would be the best possible since he feels more and more Florentine, both on the pitch and within himself.
