Football news: Fiorentina are very disappointed with the choice of their new Serbian striker and are looking for a new replacement.
Luka Jovic arrived at Real Madrid with a huge transfer fee on his head. But the striker was horrible in front of the goal. The Serb was one of the best young talents in the world while he was playing in the Bundesliga.
La Fiore brought him in to replace Dusan Vlahovic, but he has just brought misery to the club.
Jovic’s spectacular debut against Cremonese gave Italy a good feeling about the striker. But all the good feelings soon faded away with goals from him in just the next 5 games.
Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano said the player needs some time to get his fitness back for the match, which may help him rediscover his form.
The manager has given the player enough playing time, and the Serb has played a total of 558 minutes in his eight appearances.
But his performance is terrible in the definition and in the implication of the game. The player himself tried to justify his lack of form by saying: “It will take me time to find my form; I haven’t played in a long time.”
Jovic asks for patience, but Viola’s club are desperate for a good striker after selling Vlahovic to Juventus this January. Neither Piatek nor Cabral have put the performance or the numbers in front of the goal to please the club and the fans.
Vlahovic’s compatriot has arrived in Italy on free loan from Real Madrid this summer on the condition that Madrid keep half of the player’s rights.
Fiorentina have fallen short of Vincenzo Italiano’s ambition, and their strikers, Jovic and Cabral, have just scored one under each name. In the last match against Verona, Jovic did not play a single minute in their 2-0 victory. The Serbian even missed a penalty against Juventus, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Fiorentina’s worst player
According to data from Olocip, Jovic is the worst player on the pitch for his club. He has wasted the most and the best chances for Viola’s club. As a striker he has a measly negative -1.17 in total shots.
Cabral’s transfer data for January is also unfortunate, since it is at a value of -0.5. According to Corriere Fiorentino, the club is watching the market. They can be activated in the January window.
The team is short on goals, but has the highest volume of crosses than any other team in Serie A. All of Viola’s players have scored just 7 goals in 7 games for their team.
