Florence, September 3, 2024 – Moise Kean Today he is nothing more than the driving force of the FiorentinaThe attacker is busy with the National Spalletti (today he trained separately at Coverciano), regained in record time after arriving in Florence. Three goals in the first five official outings after a summer in which his potential was glimpsed. Up front, Fiorentina needed a player like that: the post-Vlahovic era had not provided players capable of occupying that role with continuity and profit. From Piatek to Cabral, from Jovic to Belotti and Nzola. No one has left an impression on us for his power, ball protection and vision of the goal. If Palladino and the Viola fans hope that the former Juventus player continues at this pace, ‘Griddy’ has already started to go viral in Florence over the summer.
Moise Kean tackles the social explanation of Griddy
Power of social media, who in truth were not his friends at first. In mid-summer, his attempt at shooting with some children became famous. He purposely missed shots with his feet to make the little fans win, in reality the mistakes then went viral and Moise was targeted by the world of social media for his poor aim with his feet. In short, nothing more fake. On the field he has shown how he knows what he’s doing. And after each goal, as we were saying, it’s time for Griddy. Kean himself explained the movements on the Viola social channels with great detail.
The ballet involves a sort of rhythmic hopping walkwhile swinging your arms back and forth and carrying them hands to eyes mimicking glasses. It all comes from the world of American football. The celebration was invented in 2019 by a high school player, Allen Daviswhose nickname is Griddy, to celebrate touchdowns. Davis uploaded his celebratory dance to YouTube, but the real turning point came when they made it their own Ja’Marr Chase e Justin Jeffersontwo NFL superstars. The footballers came later, the first was Pulisic in the Champions League with the Chelsea shirt. And Keanwe were saying, is one of those who shows it off most often.
Side note: To add Griddy to his soccer game’s list of celebrations, EA Sports in 2023 it signed a rich exclusive contract with its creator Allen Davis, whose football career did not take off but was replaced by that of a YouTuber. Griddy is also present among the celebrations in FC24. But be careful, in the video game it is considered a highly disrespectful and irreverent celebration towards the opponent (probably the worst possible mockery for someone who suffers a goal). A meaning that it does not have in reality. Kean lo sa and Fiorentina fans hope to see him dance dozens and dozens of times more.
