Nahuel Molina arrived at Roma in the summer to bring attacking qualities to the wing . The Argentine, a World Cup winner and accustomed to the big stage under Diego Simeone, hasn't found consistency so far with the Giallorossi . The number 20's performances have been marked by highs and lows.
Given the importance of the match, the full-back probably gave his best performance against Inter, where he recorded his first assist in the capital. Against Slovan, the winger scored his first goal of the season, but Gian Piero Gasperini and the fans want to see that exuberant player capable of scoring from outside the box and creating dangerous opportunities.
A lot of misplaced passes and a lackluster defensive display: the 98-born player disappointed against Udinese. Gasp left him on the bench for 90 minutes in Manchester, but against Sassuolo, Nahuel played and did his job very well: the Giallorossi coach hopes this is the prelude to a great second half of the season.
Molina, the numbers against Sassuolo
At the Olimpico against Sassuolo, Molina only lacked an assist, or a goal. The Argentine made three key passes , and in the 90 minutes he only missed nine. He moved back and forth on the flank, revealing interesting attacking ideas . His defensive performance was also positive. The number 20 completed three defensive blocks, but above all, he made 11 recoveries.
The winger also came close to scoring. Now the break is coming, and Gasp can regroup. Up until now, the only player who's certain of a spot on the flanks has been Wesley, while on the other side, Emanuele Lulli, Devyne Rensch, and the 98-born player have alternated . But the supporting role isn't enough for Nahuel.
DAJE NAHUEL💛❤️🐺
