Matías Soulé is continuing his excellent form from last season, quickly becoming a key player for Roma under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Instead of Paulo Dybala, it’s the young Argentine who is capturing the spotlight, adapting perfectly to Gasperini’s attacking style of football.
Soulé’s recent success highlights a major shift in his role. Previously asked to focus on defending as a right winger, he is now playing further up the pitch where his attacking talents can shine. This change has proven to be a turning point, allowing him to become one of the most effective young players in Europe.
🌟 A Star on the Rise
Since Paulo Dybala’s injury last spring, Soulé has stepped up to become a leader for Roma. He has consistently delivered important goals and assists, establishing himself as a reliable performer. His record of six away goals since the start of last season is particularly impressive, a number surpassed only by other top young talents like Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham. With each match, Soulé plays with more confidence and authority, showing he is ready to be a central figure for the team.
⚽ Key Performance Against Pisa
In a recent match against Pisa, Soulé once again proved his value. When the team’s attack was struggling, he scored the winning goal with a powerful left-footed shot. The goal came from a clever play involving Evan Ferguson and a creative pass from Dybala, who had just come on as a substitute. Minutes later, Soulé nearly scored a second with a header, but it was disallowed. His all-around effort earned him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the match, highlighting another mature and decisive performance.
🤝 The Perfect Coach and System
The partnership between Soulé and coach Gian Piero Gasperini seems to be a perfect fit. Gasperini is known for his belief in meritocracy—he picks players based on their performance in training and matches, not on their reputation. This approach is ideal for a young, hardworking player like Soulé. Gasperini also has a strong history of helping attacking midfielders improve and reach their full potential. With this promising start, Roma fans have good reason to be excited about what Soulé can achieve under his guidance.
