Rodrigo Mora, when needed, given the injuries to Dybala and Pellegrini, was ready to help Gian Piero Gasperini. After a difficult start, the 2007-born player again showed his talent last night against Sassuolo with a fine goal: Malen's assist on the edge of the penalty area, two touches to unleash the shot, and a low, unstoppable finish for Muric.
The Portuguese attacking midfielder has already reached four league goals, becoming Roma's second-highest-scoring player behind the Dutch striker. Gasp, farsighted as he often is, was clear: "We're dealing with an extraordinary talent. At 19, he's already won two league titles. Every time he touches the ball, something beautiful happens. He'll bring us great satisfaction."
Mora, a goal every 99,75 minutes: it had never happened to him in the Porto of the 'big'
Gian Piero Gasperini asked Mora for a sign of growth , and the Portuguese talent's response was immediate. The 2007-born player has scored every goal in his last three Serie A matches, outscoring the goalkeepers of Cagliari, Udinese, and Sassuolo. Even in the Champions League, when the level has risen, the Portuguese attacking midfielder has shone brightly: a convincing 45 minutes at Old Trafford, with an assist that paved the way for Soulé to slot the ball into the net. Then Gasperini decided to remove him from the pitch at the end of the first half, a decision criticized by many fans mesmerized by the number 86's superb technique.
Among his peers, in the top 5 leagues, only Yamal (10) has scored more goals than Rodrigo Mora (4). In Serie A, Mastantuono (4) , also nineteen, is the only other player capable of matching the number of goals scored by the 2007-born player. In addition, the Portuguese attacking midfielder has beaten the opposing goalkeepers every 99,75 minutes, a rate under no other manager, excluding youth tournaments, had he been so prolific in his career. The Gasp effect.
