In a recent interview with La Repubblica, young striker Moise Keane, who moved from Juventus to Fiorentina, shared the behind-the-scenes story of his choice of a new owner and expressed a positive view on the future of Italian soccer.
Keane admits that he was heavily influenced by former teammate Vlahovic in his decision to join Fiorentina. "Vlahovic has a very high opinion of Fiorentina as a team and as a city." Keane said, "He mentioned to me many times that Fiorentina not only gave him the stage to showcase his talent, but also allowed him to gain valuable experience in the city, which ultimately helped him move to a higher professional platform. Therefore, when I was considering a move, Vlahovic's advice became one of the most important factors in my decision to join Fiorentina. In addition, the fans here are very warm and friendly, which is the kind of soccer atmosphere I aspire to."
In addition to his love and expectation for Fiorentina, Keane also expressed his optimism for the future of Italian soccer. He pointed out, "I don't think Italian soccer is in a dilemma of talent depletion. In fact, we have a lot of talented young players, but many domestic clubs have not fully explored and utilized their potential. I believe that as long as these young players are given the right guidance and opportunities, Italian soccer will soon be able to regain its former glory and take its place in the world soccer world again."
