Fiorentina market, desperate fans ask Mohamed Salah for help
So far Fiorentina’s season can absolutely be placed in the ‘horror’ category: the Gigliati are last in the standings and in their first 14 Serie A matches have scraped together just 6 points, the result of 6 draws and 8 defeats. The club tried to run for cover by torpedoing Stefano Pioli in early November, but under Paolo Vanoli things have not changed and the team is still searching for its first league win of the season. Fans are disheartened and in the last few hours have flooded Mohamed Salah’s social profiles asking him to return to Florence to try to help the team.
It is obviously a desperate attempt, the result of the very complicated situation of the team but also of the latest statements of Liverpool’s Egyptian star player. After Saturday’s draw against Leeds, Mohamed Salah in the mixed zone did not spare himself: “I have said many times in the past that I have a good relationship with the coach and, all of a sudden, there is no relationship between us. I don’t know why but it seems clear to me that someone doesn’t want me in the club anymore. I feel like I’ve been thrown under the bus. I have done so much for this club, and now I find myself having to defend myself to the media and fans. If I were elsewhere, the club would protect its best player. Here, however, it seems that I have become the problem”.
“I received many promises in the summer but I have been on the bench for three games. I cannot say they have been fulfilled. I told my family ‘Come to the game against Brighton’ I don’t know if I will play or not but I will try to enjoy it because I don”t know what will happen next” concluded the strong Egyptian. Fiorentina fans were able to enjoy the enormous qualities of Mohamed Salah between February 2015 and June of the same year, when he wore the purple jersey while on loan from Chelsea. With the lily club, he collected 26 appearances topped by 9 goals and 4 assists, but the Fiorentina stop was crucial for him to relaunch himself after the unhappy experience at Chelsea.

The situation at Fiorentina is very delicate and the defeat against Sassuolo has heightened tensions already evident in recent days. However, it is not only a matter of the standings: in fact, the discontent risks turning into a toxic climate capable of transcending sporting boundaries, spilling over onto social media in disturbing ways. Indeed, there are those on the web who have given vent to their worst instincts, targeting not only the purple players but also their families. Companions and wives of some Fiorentina players have in fact received threatening messages, as they themselves publicly reported on their profiles.
