Retegui has been shining for Atalanta in August since leaving Genoa, with Kean doing just like that in Fiorentina after his move from Juventus.
Spalletti, speaking with La Gazzetta dello Sport, said about Retegui: “At the moment this is how it is, and it is always good to say 'at the moment'. It is mainly because of what the classification of the top scorers says: They are two real strikers in every way.
“They are different types of Center-Forwards. In terms of characteristics: Retegui is a classic goal striker, while Kean is more mobile and almost a support attack in certain aspects.
“I definitely see a parallel between the two: both complete their development this season and grow on a personal level.”
At the strengths of Retegui, he continued: “In the box he remains a deadly finisher, he controls the ball, turns and shoots.
“But he has improved his game with his back to the goal: to impose the ball for teammates, act as a pivot and fall back to help the team. He remains a positional striker, but is now more mobile, making it more difficult to mark. '
On Kean he also stated: “Moise is still a mix of strength and technology, but for that he was not so clinical for the goal, less a player of a penalty box, more a roaming forward.
“He refined that aspect and improved a lot about the small details he missed. Although, compared to Mateo, he still needs a little longer to get the ball under control with his first touch. Although Retegui often has to be set up for a shot, Kean can only wear the ball to dangerous areas to create a score of score.
“He played that role at PSG and at Juventus, and I even used it on the left. It has improved in finding space in the box.
'Have you seen his goal against Genoa? He followed the cross, turned his body and hit the outside of his foot. It was an Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo-Type goal. And his header against Inter? The purpose of a Pure Center-Forward. “
