Number 3 has withstood every change on the bench: out of 23 seasonal matches, he only skipped the Europa League game against Braga.
The story of Angelino with Roma began just a year ago, but the Spaniard has already established himself as one of the key players of the team. Arriving in the Capital at the request of former coach Daniele De Rossi, the ex-Leipzig player has quickly earned a starting position, ousting a veteran like Leonardo Spinazzola. His statistics speak volumes about his value both in attack and defense. With an average of 2.8 ball recoveries per game, he proves himself also during defensive phases, but it’s especially with the ball at his feet where he manages to make the difference. The Spaniard indeed excels in ball carrying, managing to consistently and accurately push the maneuver forward, and he is highly proficient in progressive passing, that is, passes that overcome enemy lines and allow the team to gain ground. The data speaks clearly: he has an accuracy rate of 88.6% in ball carrying and 86.9% in passes that create decisive advancements. This makes it an essential resource for building the game and providing alternatives to the yellow-red action. Another aspect that stands out is its ability to adapt to various tactical contexts and coaches. In the span of just one year, he has managed to win the trust of three very different coaches: first De Rossi, then Juric, and now Ranieri. Despite the competition, he has always been favored for his stability and his ability to make an impact in both stages. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Ghisolfi decided to redeem him this summer for a mere 5 million euros after a six-month loan. At only 27 years old, Angelino could represent a crucial piece in building the future. Valentino Poggio
