Moise Kean’s Brother Praises Teammate Retegui’s Similarity to His Brother and Notes His Struggles with Injuries The brother of Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, Giovanni Kean, shared insights about his sibling’s recent performance and challenges during an interview with Tuttosport. Giovanni, who currently plays in the Kings League, described how Moise has found a kindred spirit in teammate Federico Chiesa, highlighting their complementary playing styles. “Moise has found someone just like him, another ‘fighter,’” Giovanni said, referring to Chiesa. “They divide up the areas of the pitch between them: by moving around so much, they always manage to find space, and up front, wherever one isn’t, the other is.” Giovanni emphasized the dynamic between the two players, noting their ability to create opportunities through constant movement and positioning. Giovanni also reflected on Moise’s development, comparing him to other iconic players. “We looked up to Balotelli, and as a child, Moise really liked Martins,” he said, referencing former AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli and Brazilian forward Romário. “My brother is a good mix of the two: he has Oba Oba’s pace and, at the same time, he’s powerful and has Mario’s technique.” Giovanni added that Moise’s technical skills, such as shielding the ball, were influenced by his own coaching. Despite his talent, Giovanni acknowledged the difficulties Moise has faced this season. “It’s been a difficult year for Moise due to injuries,” he said, citing recent setbacks including a shin injury that limited his availability. “He hasn’t been able to perform as well as he did last season, but I’ve seen him play well for Inter.” Giovanni expressed hope that Moise could recover in time for upcoming matches, including a crucial game against Udinese Calcio.#moise_kean #udinese_calcio #giovanni_kean #federico_chiesa #tuttosport
REVEALED: The ex-Blackburn striker with biggest influence on Fiorentina star Kean's career The older brother of Moises Kean has identified Ciccio Grabbi as the most significant figure in the Fiorentina striker’s development. Grabbi, a former Blackburn Rovers and Genoa forward, served as a youth team coach for Kean. Giovanni Kean shared insights with Tuttosport, stating that Grabbi, who is also his godfather and a close family friend, played a pivotal role in shaping his playing style. Giovanni explained that Grabbi guided Kean through the Juventus youth system until he moved to the Primavera team. The coach focused on teaching Kean how to attack the depth of the pitch and refine his timing in runs. Giovanni emphasized that Grabbi’s mentorship helped Kean develop his technical skills and understanding of the game. In addition to Grabbi’s influence, Giovanni highlighted Kean’s compatibility with Mateo Retegui, now playing for Al Qadisiah. He noted that Kean enjoys partnering with Retegui in Italy’s attacking lineup because the two share similar playing traits. Giovanni described Retegui as a “dog” who works tirelessly, runs constantly, and commits himself to every challenge. The duo’s dynamic, according to Giovanni, allows them to cover different areas of the pitch effectively. By moving around frequently, they create space for each other, ensuring that one is always available to support the other. This synergy has become a key aspect of Kean’s growth as a forward, enabling him to thrive in Fiorentina’s attacking setup. The comments underscore the importance of early mentorship in a player’s career, particularly in developing the technical and tactical awareness required to succeed at the highest level.#juventus #giovanni_kean #moises_kean #ciccio_grabbi #al_qadisiah
