Vaz and Tsimikas to start vs Lecce | OneFootball

Good attacking depth and a knack for jostling opponents.

Plus, an assist and a penalty won. It may not have been enough to eliminate Bologna from the Europa League, but it might have been enough to convince Gasperini to give him a starting spot tomorrow against Lecce.

Robinio Vaz, who arrived during the winter transfer window from Marseille, is starting to show his qualities.

And in a nearly decimated attack, writes Il Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi coach could decide to hand him the reins of attack in a match that, on paper, is within reach but extremely delicate for the Trigoria club.

The race for Champions League qualification remains complicated but not impossible. Roma currently sits sixth in the standings but is just two points behind Juventus and three behind Como.

In the defeat at the Olimpico against the Rossoblu, the Pellegrini-Vaz-Malen trident appeared the most cohesive, and the former Atalanta coach could confirm this in the match against Di Francesco’s Lecce, who are chasing precious safety points.

The alternatives, for now, are disappointing: from Zaragoza to El Shaarawy, waiting for the crucial returns of Soulé and Dybala.
