uriel is like this: ten minutes before you can’t stand it, ten minutes later you are open-mouthed for his brace. A portrait, that of the Colombian, confirmed by Gasperini: “With Lazio he entered and looked like a dead man, he believed he had done well, the next day I told him everything.” And then it happens that in the next game he gives Atalanta three more than fundamental points in the race for the Champions League, three points that send Roma nine lengths away, ten if we consider the direct clashes. Few teams in Serie A can afford to keep a player like Luis Muriel on the bench, but how much is this performance worth? As a substitute he scored 9 goals this season: in Serie A, in the era of three points to victory, no one had ever succeeded.
