Serie A name Pisilli Rising Star of May | OneFootball

Niccolò Pisilli took over Roma and capped off a dream May.

He first scored a goal and an assist against Fiorentina and was named player of the match.

Nearly two weeks later, he took the lead in the corner from which Mancini scored the first goal of the derby.

The performances of the number 61 have allowed him to climb the squad hierarchy and have not gone unnoticed in Serie A.

The Lega Serie A announced on its social media channels that the 2004-born player is the Rising Star of the month of May, and now Verona is in the mix to finally bring the Roman club back to the Champions League.

In Pisilli, Gian Piero Gasperini has found “the Pasalic” he was looking for, given his experience in the capital.

The number 61 plays equally well in the two midfielders or further forward in the attacking midfield, and he’s always there to contribute in both phases.

Regardless of the coach’s decisions, the 2004-born player is ready to give his all in the final match of the season against Verona, whether in the middle of the game or from the start.

The midfielder has collected four goals and four assists so far, and next season he’ll be an added bonus for Gasperini from the very first matches.
