Roma v Verona: 6 newspapers reveal their Man of the Match

Roma v Verona: 6 newspapers reveal their Man of the Match

The Giallorossi drew at home to Verona in Luciano Spalletti's first match back in charge. Let's see who the Italian press have singled out for praise...

Corriere dello Sport: Wojciech Szszesny 7

“Two big saves from compatriot Pawel Wszolek his welcome gift to Spalletti. Could only watch the penalty go in, however."

Corriere della Sera: Daniele De Rossi 7

The only player who knows Spalletti put in a fabulous first-half performance, providing the assist, dictating and breaking up play. Shades of Francesco Totti about his backheel for Radja Nainggolan's goal. Faded after that."

Gazzetta dello Sport: De Rossi 6.5

“Pressed, mixed it up and often found room and inspiration to get it forward. The backheel assist for Nainggolan's goal the flourish for Spalletti's metronome."

Il Messaggero: Szczesny 7

“Two genuine saves, both from Wszolek, displayed his talent and sharp reflexes. Ante Rebic's effort off the post, however, showed a huge slice of luck."

Il Tempo: De Rossi 6,5

“Reunited with the coach under whom he's produced the best football of his career, immediately responding with a big, quality performance, capped by an assist."

Tuttosport: Szczesny 7

“Embarked on a personal battle with fellow countryman Wszolek, denying him twice. In the second half he bailed out De Rossi's only mistake. Nothing he could do about the penalty."
