The reliability of the Giallorossi number 17 is beyond question, but a player with his qualities can be more decisive and devastating across the pitch
One of the most precious gems in the Roma squad. With still unexplored growth margins. Since his arrival in the capital, for a total of 20 million, Kone he was decisive and had an impact as the absolute leader of the midfield, writes Filippo Biafora in Il tempo. After the first year, the French midfielder confirmed himself at high levels even with the arrival of Gasperini on the bench, which permanently entrusted him with one of the starting shirts in the two-man midfield. Next to Cristantethe former Borussia Mönchengladbach player has been one of the coach’s loyalists, who has always chosen him from the first minute in the league and in three of the six matches played so far in the Europa League, where he has been able to take a breather. Koné collected 1,626 minutes in total, making him the third most used outfield player in the squad, with a move ahead on N’Dicka, absent for the Africa Cup of Nations. The reliability of the Giallorossi number 17 is beyond question, but a player with his qualities can rise to the level and make a move that makes him more decisive and devastating across the pitch.
In particular, looking at his statistics, his contribution in front of goal stands out: the goals tally is stuck at zero, while there is an assist on the scoresheetthe one for Soulé against Cremonese. An action in which the great merits go to the left-handed Argentine. In total, 23 shots were attempted, with just one hitting the target. To complete the offensive picture there is then a great missed chance and two more created, with a passing accuracy of 91%, the highest number of tackles among midfielders in Serie A and also 180 ball recoveries (the best is Locatelli with 263). Data that shows an excellent job without the ball, while with the ball there is a lot to do. A couple of actions in the last match against Juventus in which he gave up a shot were eloquent in this sense. Last year De Roon ed EdersonGasp’s two starters with Atalanta, scored 9 goals overall, while the pair Koné-Cristante he has just one goal on his scoresheet. Market chapter: the sporting director Massara is He immediately returned to Trigoria after his stint in Paris. The objective is to overcome the resistance of Manchester United and Atletico Madrid for Zirkzee and Raspadori, with confidence remaining high especially for the first operation. The Spaniards, however, maintain the point on the terms of the deal: without inserting a redemption obligationeven conditional, for now the green light for farewell has not arrived.
