The Polish player in the match against Dinamo never managed to outmaneuver his opponent and his league performance is no different.

Ivan Juric seems to have taken a liking to Nicola Zalewski, who is gaining ground in the Croatian’s pecking order for the wing position. Against Dinamo Kiev, the Polish player also operated on the right lane and today the yellow-and-red coach saw fit to praise in a press conference the attitude displayed on the field: “Zalewski deserves great applause for the match against Dinamo, mentally he was top-notch, focused and on point.” “He has proven that he is strong, he’s not a child,” and goes on to say, “players, like Zalewski, who can dribble are essential in closed games.” This statement did not leave Roma fans indifferent, who on social media reported the coach’s words and refuted them with hard data at hand. According to data reported by Sofascore, indeed, the winger, both with Dinamo and in the league, has a 0% successful dribbling rate this season. A percentage that leaves little room for imagination and that has infuriated the fans. “We’re in the theater of the absurd,” and also, “He just makes pointless backpasses,” some of the comments.
