Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Mario Hermoso has become a complete player: he defends, wins balls, attacks, scores, and constantly invades the opposition's penalty area. The Spanish center-back can't be labeled simply as a defender in the Giallorossi's three-man defense because he does so much more on the pitch.
The former Atletico Madrid player has already scored 7 goals since he was coached by Gasp , 3 of which have come at the start of this season: in this period, among his peers, only Van Dijk and Querfeld have done better with 8 goals.
Hermoso, the numbers of a complete footballer's start to the season
Mario Hermoso is a tough marker but also an extra player in Roma's attack, often useful for creating numerical superiority and breaking down the wall opposing coaches put up in front of their goalkeeper. This was also true against Sassuolo, with the goal that broke the deadlock and put the Roman side on the right track.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, in the 13 matches he has played, the Spanish defender has made 30 tackles, intercepted 32 balls, and, most importantly, entered the penalty area 120 times, touching the ball 942 times, and completing 697 passes . A new lease of life for Mario Hermoso.
