Roma beat Sassuolo 1-0, returning to the top of the table and extending their perfect run away from the Olimpico.
“Tactically, we’re quite advanced. We play with three attackers, sometimes four; we sometimes move players from right to left. Wesley had a great game: he’s a growing player, very strong.”
It’s a snapshot of Roma’s silent metamorphosis, writes La Repubblica, as Wesley may not be sparkling, but he’s increasingly taking on the form the coach envisioned—intensity, versatility, spirit.
And Wesley, 22, who arrived this summer from Flamengo, is the epitome of this: the first of the new players to become a stable force. After his debut against Bologna, yesterday’s performance was his most convincing for the Giallorossi.
In the first half, he remained high on the right, alert in coverage and always in the play; in the second half, after Tsimikas’ departure, he slipped out to the left flank.
A wildcard that Gasp moves like a precious pawn, capable of occupying every open space. He had two chances to make it 2-0 in the closing stages: first the goalkeeper denied him, then—following an assist from Dovbyk—he fired a low shot wide. So far, he’s made nine starts in the league and Europa League, totaling 767 minutes, earning the coach’s full trust.
He runs, doubles his strikes, switches flanks, makes mistakes, and then counterattacks: a snapshot of a Roma side that hasn’t yet found its attacking brilliance, but knows its true strength lies on the bench.
