The two called to press and shorten the French field: “I’m fine here, I trust Gasp”
One manages, the other press. And then the tasks are reversed, often and willingly, because the two medians of Rome must always work like this. Of strength and ingenuity, running and position. For now the pair designated in the middle of the field is the one formed by Bryan Cristante and Manu Konéwho started from the street both against Bologna and against Pisa and who – unless sensational twists – will also be the owners next Sunday, when at the Olimpico (starting whistle at 12.30) Baroni’s Turin will arrive. A former Giallorossi (as a player) and a former opponent (as a technician), given that Lazio trained last season.
Reliable

Cristantelike every year, a part that seems to have to be an alternative and not a owner, then it ends instead to become the most used player ever (it has happened to him three times in the seven seasons already played in the Giallorossi and once it was the second). Even with Gasperini the impression is that it will hardly leave the field, also because it is able to give balance and has a tactical intelligence that others do not have. He knows the game times, he knows when to press and when to tempore, he is good in short and long football. In short, in spite of the skeptics he is a great custody player. So much so that Gasperini was fighting to his predecessors of Francesco, Ranieri, Fonseca, Mourinho, De Rossi and Juric, who have always considered him an untouchable. On Sunday it will be up to him to press the Mezzala di Reference (or Gineitis or Anjorin) but also to remove breath and ideas from Asllani, the Turin director, the one who must give the grenade rhythm and play.
The French king
–
Also because the task of Rome’s medians is precisely to climb, shorten the field towards the opposing door and remove space from the opposing midfielders to play the ball free. In doing this, for example, Manu Koné He is a teacher, one of those who would all like to have. Koné is experiencing a golden moment, in France today is considered the king of the Midfield of the Deschamps national team. So much so that more than someone asked how to play again with Roma and maybe not with the PSG, a club that has been keeping his eyes on him for quite a while and that between January and June could launch a perhaps decisive attack. To those who asked why, Koné from the Blues retreat replied: “I am fine with Rome. I am very happy to play for this club, because it is a team that has shown so much confidence in me. I am not afraid to say it: it is one of the few companies that really believed in me during the market: it bought me a year ago and I returned that trust with my performance, beating for her. The Champions League, but we are in the Europa League and now we have a new coach.
Pellegrini ok
–
And then also on Sunday it will be up to the two of them to oppose the corresponding grenade (even if Baroni seems inclined to deploy a midfield to three), also because El Aynaoui has so far been an alternative and yesterday was on the pitch with Morocco (victorious in Zambia), while Pisilli will be on the field today with Italy Under 21 (in Montenegro) but has yet to convince Gasp. And then there is Pilgrimswhich instead is recovering ground and conquering positions. In fact, in Gasperini, in this last week Lorenzo liked it so much in the median position and considers him the most technical midfielder among those available. In short, if there is a surprise that could be linked to Pellegrini. Otherwise also against Turin it will still touch Cristante and Koné the midfield zipper.
