Rigoni returns to São Paulo at a crucial point in the season. With Crespo taking advantage of the long FIFA break to prepare the squad, the number 77 will have the task of helping the team maintain its offensive power in the face of significant absences. One of the issues the coach will have to evaluate is what role he will best perform within the team.
Right winger: a role in which Rigoni historically shows greater productivity. In this position, the Argentine gains freedom to move, create plays, and finish, taking advantage of his dribbling and speed. He would fit as a complement to Luciano, who is already an absolute starter in the attack, while other players compete for minutes.
Second striker: playing close to the center forward, this position requires more movement and tactical intelligence. Rigoni would have to constantly interact with Luciano, looking for spaces between the opposing defense and adapting to São Paulo's quick transitions, especially in decisive games like the quarterfinals of the Libertadores against LDU.
Attacking midfielder: further back, helping in the team's setup, but with fewer finishing opportunities. This role would allow Rigoni to participate from the beginning of the plays, serving as a link between midfield and attack, but might limit his ability to appear in decisive moments within the opponent's area.
False center forward: a more specific role, in which Rigoni would enter the area to finish, complementing the presence of Luciano as an offensive reference. It would be a strategic alternative to exploit the Argentine's movement and finishing at specific moments, especially in knockout matches, where he has already demonstrated effectiveness in his first stint at the club.
So, what do you believe is the best position for the 32-year-old player to play? Vote!
