A goal and participation in the other two 3:1 from Rome via Genoa, in the game that concluded the 17th round of Serie A. Matias Soulé He has earned a starting position and is responding by increasing his influence on the team’s attack. Gian Piero Gasperini. For the 22 years old, their adaptation and their knowledge of calcium is full, a direct result of his emigration to Italy in early 2020, when he separated from there Velez through parental approval to join Juventus Sub 17.
He played 21 games in the first division Old Signora, He then spent a season on loan at Frosinone, where he had continuity and made a name for himself in a team fighting to retain the category. His football development attracted the interest of Roma, who bought his passport in July 2024 25.6 million euros.
With his goal this Monday, Soulé became the third foreigner under 23 in Rome to score double figures (10 if you include the previous and current seasons). was left behind Erik Lamela (19 points) and the Turk Cengiz Ünder (13). A left-footed player who operates on the right, Soulé is characterized by his good ball handling, dribbling and finishing (he usually takes free kicks). He is a striker with the ability to open up closed defenses.
His goal is for this rise in European football to earn him a place in the Argentina national team, where he has only been called up once. Lionel Scaloni in October 2024, after the Copa América, for the qualifying games against Chile and Colombia, in which he did not play any minutes.
In fact, both Soulé and his representative, Martin GuastadisegnoAt that time they played the card of Italy’s interest – he has dual citizenship – so that he could wear it Azzurra, with the intention of provoking a reaction from the Argentine team to avoid this a drain of talent. “Spalletti “He loved me, he came to talk to me after training, the European Championships were approaching, but I couldn’t betray Argentina,” Soulé expressed to some time ago La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Highlights of Rome 3 – Genoa 1
In statements about the website LaRoma24.it, Guastadisegno doubled the pressure: “Matías works hard for the national team; He is the only young Argentine who has not yet played a minute. He is developing into a leader in a great team like Roma and He deserves a chance. We know Argentina have a lot of players in this position, but with this consistent performance, Matías deserves a call-up. His dream is to take part in a world championship. He is of Italian-Argentine origin and I don’t know what could happen if the situation with Argentina is not resolved. Everything is fine at the moment; I can assure you that he legally has the opportunity to be called up to the Italian national team.
In mid-October, Scaloni was cautious about Soulé’s chances: “It’s on the radar, like so many other children who can contribute to us. It was already with us (Soulé), like Buonanotte, Garnacho, Carboni. We see them as guys with a future in the national team who we can call up to the extent we think is necessary.” As part of the renewal he is carrying out, Scaloni has more in mind for Nicolás Paz, Franco Mastantuono and Valentín Carboni. And in the last four appeals, José López appeared.
Soule initiated the victory of Rome with a left-footed shot that was slightly deflected by defender Sebastián Otoa. Then goalkeeper Sommariva blocked a shot from the right, he sent the middle to Manu Koné to make it 2-0 and a shot that Sommariva blocked, Evan Ferguson increased it to 3-0.
The only negative thing about that day for Soulé was that he left the field twelve minutes into the second half due to discomfort in his right leg, which in principle was not serious. He hugged before the game Daniele De Rossi the Genoa coach who was Idol of Rome As a footballer he played 616 games, surpassed only by Francesco Totti’s 785 games, and was technical director when Soulé joined. “He (De Rossi) was very important for my arrival. I thanked him, he is a legend here in Rome,” said Soulé after the meeting.
It was also an important day for Paulo Dybala, that he played 90 minutes for the third time this season – he hadn’t done that since October 29 against Parma -, a continuity that is always threatened by his muscle injuries. La Joya, who showed a good rhythm, was close to the goal with two shots: one went over the crossbar and the other was touched by the goalkeeper.
Dybala will end his contract next June, at which point it is said a possible arrival mouth. He is now an important component in Gasperini’s attack: “If he doesn’t have any injuries, he will always be taken into account.” Roma don’t have any other players as high quality as Paulo. He knows how to play left, right or center. He is a player who always shows himself, loses very few balls and He has great plays. Increases attack play exponentially. Unfortunately it is not always available.
