Roma beat Lazio in the city derby for a magnificent victory.
20-year-old Nikolai Zalevsky won the hearts of Roma fans in this match.
After a difficult few months, Zalevsky carved out his own world at the Olympic Stadium.
In the 26th round of Serie A, Roma drew 2-2 at home to Verona. The young Zalevsky was replaced at the beginning of the second half of the game.
Since then, the youngster has started in the next four Serie A matches. Including wins over Atalanta and Lazio.
The 20-year-old Zalevsky has now been recognized by the team's manager Jose Mourinho, and the results of the match have proved that Mourinho's decision to hire people is correct.
In the Roma derby, Zalevsky barely conceded a goal, and he accurately found his teammates in 30 of his 36 passes. He also contributed nine of the team's 16 steals, contributing more than half of them.
After the game, Mourinho praised Zalevsky in an interview, saying that he was still a 19-year-old child. Against Udinese, he encountered some difficulties. Criticism from the Roman media nearly ruined the boy. If I were an inexperienced coach, I would break down under these pressures (give up using him). This kid is doing a great job.
The young player Zalevsky quickly responded to Mourinho's compliments by saying: "I am delighted to be coached by one of the most successful coaches in the history of football and I thank him for his trust.
After Zalevsky's performance, some players on social media wanted the young player to naturalize and play for Italy.
In addition, Roma boss Friedkin jr. is also satisfied with the performance of the Roma team today.
The Friedkin family rarely came forward to talk about the club after owning the Roma club.
After Rome's derby victory, Ryan Friedkin chanted "Roma, come on!" as he gathered for dinner with friends. ”。
Little Friedkin's friends recorded the video and shared it on social media. This also shows that the Friedkin family is satisfied with the performance of Roma.
