Fiorentina v Roma: The newspapers' view

But which Giallorossi man did these seven papers rate highest?

Corriere dello Sport: Kostas Manolas 7

“Stopped Borja Valero when he was through on goal and foiled Nikola Kalinic right in front of Wojciech Szczesny. Didn’t get a tackle wrong, but ultimately it wasn’t enough.”

Corriere della Sera: Kevin Strootman 6.5

“Quality performance from Strootman, who is at his best in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Still Roma’s most effective midfielder in both defence and attack.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Kostas Manolas 7

“His speed is a lifesaver when he has ground to make up. Played 62 attacking passes.”

Leggo: Kevin Strootman 7

“Was the master of the midfield for long spells of the match, just like he used to be before his injury problems. Possibly a tad late in on Badelj for the winner.”

Il Messaggero: Alessandro Florenzi 6.5

“Spent the match running and chasing. Set up a Mohamed Salah chance and then sent Edin Dzeko through on goal twice. A positive performance, despite the result.”

Il Tempo: Kostas Manolas 7

“Focused and alert to Fiorentina’s counters. Stood firm in moments of confusion, making sure he was always in the right place at the right time.”

TuttoSport: Kostas Manolas 7

“Again showed why he is first name on the team-sheet in defence. Dealt with Borja and then Kalinic well. Best Roma player on the pitch.”
