2021, which is about to end well for us very soon, was the year of Euro, Copa America, a relatively surprising winner in the Champions League and a host of other personal and team stories. One of them, more hidden to the vessels, is associated with the name of Duchamp and Lachowicz. The Fiorentina star scored a double last Saturday in a 4-0 win over Sarlanitana and raised his balance, mind you, to 32 goals in 41 Serie A games in the calendar year. 15 of them came in 17 games this season alone.
Valachovic, who has already surpassed legendary scorers like Gabriel Batistuta and Luca Tony, a former Florence striker, is just one goal away from equaling the achievement of Cristiano Ronaldo, who conceded 33 goals in the Juventus uniform a year ago. By the end of the civil year, the Serbian national team striker will have two more opportunities, against Sesotho and Verona, to also cross the CR7 and become the biggest scorer in a calendar year in Italian football since the cheerful 1960s. Definitely something that is not obvious.
“And Ahovitch impresses me very much,” he wrote of him Marco Scorenti“He’s the kind of player who raises the level of his team. In the past in Italy it was Gigi Riva in Cagliari and Giorgio Chinella in Lazio. If a big team had taken him, he would have led them,” he said. “In Florence he reminds everyone of Batistuta, but remember that at the age of 21 Batigol did not excel as much as Valachovic now. He trains like crazy, always goes to kick penalty after penalty in training and does not give up. He is a player who makes the difference.”
And Lahovic has been marked from a very young age as one of the great hopes of Serbian football. He got his first professional contract at the age of 15 at Partizan Belgrade and over time recorded several local records, when at 16 he became the youngest player in partisan history, the youngest player to record an appearance in the Eternal Derby against the Red Star and even became the youngest scorer in luxury club history. But his contribution to the Serbian league was expressed in a single goal in 21 games, until in June 2017 Fiorentina decided to bet on him for a modest sum of 1.5 million euros.
Even in Fiorentina, the striker, built for Talpiot (1.90 meters), did not exactly realize his potential from the first moment. In fact only in September 2019 did he make his first appearance in Serie A in the viola uniform. Last season Fiorentina got into tough bottom struggles, fired coaches, and in the winter built on Russian acquisition Alexander Kokorin, as the one to save it. But just then, Valowicz began to get more and more minutes and became a legitimate car player. From mid-February until the end of the season he scored 14 of his 17 goals and helped team Martemio Frankie save and survive another season in Serie A.
This season came on a star standard after quite a few teams in the summer, including Atletico Madrid and Tottenham, expressed great interest in him. His series of conquests has continued in recent months as well. Volakhovic seems to be able to score from any position on the court, even with his weak right foot, off the field and with his head, even with a free-kick. The 21-year-old is not sick of means and idols, and allowed a pair in the big 3: 4 victory over Milan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whom he admires. Thanks a lot to him, Fiora is ranked fifth and very surprising as of this writing, as we approach the completion of the first round of the season. In addition, Valachovic bought his place in Serbia’s squad and qualified for the World Cup with them after a dramatic victory in Portugal.
Vincenzo Italino, His coach at Fiorentina, praised the Serbian meteor when he recently said: “Velakovic is destined for a great career, not only because of the amount of goals he scores and the way he plays, but also because of the way he trains. Former Serbia national team striker, Drako Kovacic, Claimed: “If he continues like this, in three or four years he will be among the five greatest pioneers in the world and I do not say that just because he is a Serb like me.”
After the enthusiasm, also comes the much interest from teams like Juventus and Arsenal who are fascinated by the latest performance of the talent. Fiorentina president Rocco Comiso said the club had submitted an offer to Volakhovic, whose contract expires in 2023, to become the club’s most expensive earner ever (about 4 million euros per season, according to media in boot country), but for now the striker has refused to extend the deal. Of the statue of David. According to all reports, Lachowicz will be sold in the region of 80 million euros at a maximum price. The question is whether this will happen already in the current transfer window, or in the summer. In any case, with such data, it does not appear that Fiorentina will have a hard time finding a buyer.
And there are those who are really skeptical about Valowicz, mentioning the example of Krzysztof Piontek, who bombed out of nowhere, and after a dream half-season in Genoa, moved to Milan and today does not find himself in Hertha Berlin. Many, as mentioned, are tempted to compare Valachovich to Batistuta, one of the greatest pioneers of the 1990s. To be honest, Batigol, made a glorious career and scored over 200 goals, won the trophy, played in the Champions League and then was crowned Italian champion with Roma. Those were the days when Italian football was the beacon of European leagues. Valachovich is just a football star on a modest team in a big league, but shuffling. To really appreciate his abilities, we’ll have to wait a little longer, until his next stop in Europe. It will happen very quickly, do not worry.
