Roma’s best player against Atalanta according to the press

Roma suffered a third league defeat of the season in Bergamo on Sunday despite taking the lead through a Diego Perotti penalty.

Here's who has been singled out for praise by seven Italian papers.

Il Corriere dello Sport: Federico Fazio, Kostas Manolas, Wojciech Szczesny and Daniele De Rossi 6.

Fazio - “Enterprising and dangerous from set-pieces, sufficiently switched on. Solid amid the chaos at the death.”

Il Messaggero: Szczesny, Manolas, De Rossi and Edin Dzeko 6.

Manolas - “He fought on the left and right, chased forwards and attacking midfielders and got his body in the way of dangerous balls. But he could do nothing about the denouement.”

Il Tempo: De Rossi 6.5

“He had to manage the Roma midfield on his own whether he liked it or not. He tried to break up anything that came near him and you can't ask any more than that.”

Corriere della Sera: Szczesny, Manolas, De Rossi, Radja Nainggolan and Dzeko 6.

Nainggolan - “A very good first half with Mohamed Salah wasting a couple of chances from the Belgian's passes. He faded like everyone else after the break. He ended up playing wide midfield when Leandro Paredes came on.”

Gazzetta dello Sport: Szczesny, Fazio and Perotti 6

Szczesny – “He didn't require any super saves, just normal service (with the help of the woodwork). Unlucky on Mattia Caldara's goal.”

Il Giornale: Manolas, Fazio and Perotti 6.5

Perotti – “Took the game to the opposition well in the first half and was one of the few that didn't give up in the second period.”

Leggo: De Rossi 7

“A wonderful performance to say the least, played at 90% with first-time passes the only remedy to Atalanta's relentless pressing. He put out fires like the De Rossi of old as his side vanished in the second half.”
