Jovic, Fiorentina’s cross and delight: the feeling with the public at risk, but the goals revive him

“But what does Jovic have?”. In Florence, yesterday, there was no talk of anything else. Bars, radios, websites. Also because, a little bit everyone thought that the story had opened and closed Saturday night, after the goal against Inter. But no. Two other networks, Thursday, e two other controversial celebrations. And if it is true that turning the finger close to the ear has always been his way of celebrating (he did it with Eintracht Frankfurt and he did it even after the first viola stamp, against the Cremonese), certainly one cannot fail to notice. the differences. First the gesture of chatter (Saturday) then, Thursday, hands brought blatantly behind the ears. It is no coincidence that after the brace both Bonaventura and Biraghi tried (in vain) to stop him. They knew what he was up against. They knew that, given the situation, this was not the case. Luka, however, did so. a sensitive boy, explained Italiano after the match against Basaksehir and whoever knows the Serbian striker assures that this is really the case. Behind those icy eyes hides a particular soul with which, more than the stick, the carrot must be used. The same coach has noticed this who, after having tried for a long time to stimulate him with strong tones, has recently changed his strategy: less screams, and more cuddles. A case, that of Jovic, very similar to that of Josip Ilicic. Another who, in these parts, has often had a (very) tense relationship with the fans. Even the Slovenian rejoiced arguing with the Franks even arriving, in a trip to Cagliari, to an (almost) physical clash. In short, Luka is not the first, and he will not be the last. Giovanni Simeone himself, a boy all but prone to quarrels, after a long difficult period rejoiced by silencing the curve. In the case for him, the apologies were immediate.

Not this time. This time, on the 7th, he decided to go straight on his way. It seems to have particularly bothered him what he felt after the match against Lecce and the accusations of having asked for the change without doing anything to try to stay in the field. state, that, the lowest point of a tremendously difficult start to the season but from which, the former Real Madrid, is pulling out in the best way: three consecutive goals (one to Inter, two to Basaksehir) which, combined with the two scored between the home and away with Hearts, bring the count to five in the last six. A streak that allows him to be the Serie A striker who scored the most in October, between league and cups. In total they are 6 centers (in 17 games) spread over 914 ‘played: one every 152’. In short, slowly the accounts start to come back. Especially in Europe. At the moment, in fact, Jovic (together with Morales from Villarreal, Ishak from Poznan, Dovbyk from Dnipro and Diabate del Partizan) leads the top scorers of the Conference League. Different speech in the championship where Luka, with 2 centers, still late. He, like Fiorentina. For this reason, already tomorrow, Italian will once again rely on him and Kouame (the extra man of this start of the season who yesterday became Kenan Phils’ father) hoping to start the ascent in earnest.
