Gasperini ready to rely on Mora in Como showdown

In preparation for Saturday’s 12:30 pm match against Como, Roma participated in a test game against Sorianese at Trigoria. The match ended with a dominant victory for Roma, securing a score of 20-0. Notable absentees from the team were Argentinians Soulé, Castro, and Balerdi, along with injured player Cristante.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma's coach Gasperini is relying on Rodrigo Mora to bolster the team's attacking options. Mora is now in a strong position to secure the third-choice attacking jersey, which would complement the Roma squad alongside Dybala and Malen. Mora, a Portuguese attacking midfielder born in 2007, showcased his skills during his stint with Portugal’s Under-21 team, notably with a remarkable overhead kick.

The 2007-born player is also considering a start against Como for tactical reasons. The team is employing a back four formation, similar to those utilized by Fiorentina and Atalanta in their respective matches. These teams are the same two clubs where Mora began his professional career.
