Fiorentina's Survival Bid Gets Boost After Kean Scores Winner.
Paolo Vanoli had no appetite for the discussion about Moise Kean being cut from the matchday squad, but he was forced to name him after Edin Dzeko suffered an injury in the run-up to Fiorentina's game against Cremonese. The striker returned to training on Saturday after a week away due to a private family matter.
Kean had been deployed on the bench for this match as per Vanoli's initial intentions, but when Dzeko was ruled out, Kean was given his chance and he seized it with a late winner that lifted Fiorentina off the foot of the table. The goal was a messy one, with Kean scoring after Niccolò Fortini's back-post header had been parried by Emil Audero.
Fiorentina are still facing a relegation battle, but their result against Cremonese has given them renewed hope. They are level on points with Pisa and Verona, and have a superior goal difference to both teams, so any ties would be broken first on head-to-head records or in a playoff.
Kean's return has been a boost for the team, and he will be crucial in their fight against relegation. His ability to score goals has been a key factor in Fiorentina's survival bid, and his presence in the team has given them renewed hope of staying up.
However, the challenges facing Fiorentina go beyond just the playing squad. The club is also struggling with off-field issues, including renovations at their home stadium which are being delayed until 2027. The lack of a stable leadership structure has also been an issue, with Fabio Paratici's arrival as head of football still pending.
Despite these challenges, Kean's goal has given Fiorentina a much-needed boost, and they will be looking to build on this result in their next game. The team's fans are also hopeful that their team can turn things around, and avoid the drop back to Serie B.

they were literally on the brink of relegation but then moise kean scores a winner 
and now they're all like yay we might not go down 
meanwhile i'm over here thinking about how stressful it must be to play for them, dealing with injuries, off-field drama...like can't they just get some stability going on? 
& yeah kean's goal was kinda messy but hey it counts right? 
now let's see if they can keep this momentum going and not mess everything up again 
I'm so happy for Kean, he really needed that win for Fiorentina! I was watching the match with my friends and we were all screaming at the screen when he scored that goal 
. And, omg, have you seen the state of their stadium? That's some serious renovation drama going on 
. I'm rooting for Fiorentina all the way, even with all these challenges, I think they can do it 
! I mean, it's just crazy how one goal can change everything for a team, right? Moise Kean coming off the bench and scoring that winner is like, totally clutch 
. And now Fiorentina's got renewed hope of staying up... interesting to see if they can keep it going 
️.
just saw Moise Kean score that late winner for Fiorentina and now they're level on points with Pisa & Verona! 
the delayed renovations at their stadium are gonna be a headache 
that messy goal might've looked bad, but kean made it count 
gotta keep fingers crossed for kean, fortini, and the rest of the squad as they face their next challenge 
i mean, his goal was kinda messy lol, but still, it's just one goal out of like 10 or so that the team needs to start scoring regularly. and let's not forget they're still struggling with off-field issues... stadium renovations are delayed till 2027? 
anyway, i'm glad Kean scored, but lets keep things in perspective here 
anyway back to the important stuff... so now Fiorentina has a good chance of staying up? that's kinda cool I guess. but like what's with all these delays at their stadium? 2027?! can't they just finish it already? 
and btw have you seen that new gaming chair they're selling online? the one with the built-in cooling system? so comfy 
these are issues that can affect the team's performance on the pitch too. and don't even get me started on the lack of transparency around fabio paratici's arrival... what's going on behind the scenes? shouldn't we be getting more info on how he plans to turn things around for the club? 
& leadership structure is all over the place fabio paratici just arrived but like...nothing changed 
gotta feel bad for paratici who just joined but i guess he's gonna have to work magic with that squad ASAP 
. but hey, a win is a win and they'll take it 
... meanwhile, kean's gonna keep scoring and maybe we'll see them survive this season after all
