At home Florentine the role question continues to take center stage, however Lucas Beltran. The Argentine striker had arrived from River Plate as first striker, only to then move back his range with Vincenzo Italiano. And this year too, with Raffaele Palladino on the bench, Beltran is struggling to find his place. The former Viola spoke about it today Francesco Flachi al Corriere dello Sport:
“He arrived here with important expectations and he didn’t do too badly, on the contrary. In my opinion he is among the best attackers who have moved to Florence in recent years. I think he hasn’t been enhanced by Fiorentina’s way of playing. Beltran is not he never seemed like a center forward. He doesn’t have the characteristics to play as a first striker. He is more of a ten than a nine”, explained Flachi.
The path to follow according to Flachi
“I would see him well alongside Kean and in this he should enter into competition with Gudmundsson but it is not easy. The Icelander seems more complete to me. Alibis are enough up to a certain point. I repeat: in my opinion he has a lot of quality as a footballer, but now he has to show them. An experience away from Fiorentina could be good for him. But I think he has all the potential to establish himself here too, but I say that there is still a long way to go in football of everything. There are many games and in Florence they give you time. Not like in my time.”
