“Gasperini always wants to play up front, it's difficult to do that so often. But it's fun to play with this philosophy ,” Rodrigo Mora said at the end of Roma-Cagliari, a match in which he scored an unexpected header. And since then he hasn't stopped: he also scored against Udinese and in Manchester he put on a show for 45 minutes, providing a great assist for Matias Soulé.
And Gasperini had spoken thus of the Portuguese talent in one of his press conferences : "He is a young player with a lot of talent. He needs to be completed physically and tactically. He's only recently arrived, but what he's shown, from the start and during the match, is that of a top-class young player. I don't think there's a young player in the world more capable of being a protagonist than him right now."
Mora, with Sassuolo an opportunity for consecration
Today – November 6 – Mora received his first call-up to the Portugal senior national team . A decision that comes at the end of a dream two weeks. And now the Portuguese player has his sights set on Sassuolo, where he hopes to establish himself in the Giallorossi squad.
The 2007-born player wants to prove that his substitution in Manchester was a bad choice. Gasperini still has to resolve any remaining doubts regarding the lineup, but the attacking trio could once again consist of Soulé, Donyell Malen, and the number 86. The latter will try to make his mark with an assist or a goal.
In fact he is very strong and I really don't understand why Gasperini had to take him off against Manchester who had played a sumptuous first half. I still have to understand it, I'm speechless.
COME ON RODRI💛❤️🐺
