Matías Soule has become Roma’s main creative force with Paulo Dybala on the sidelines, and Gian Piero Gasperini is reaping the rewards.

According to Tuttosport, the 23-year-old has taken on far more responsibility in his second season under Gasperini. He has four goals and five assists in 1,028 minutes across Serie A and the Champions League.

His numbers have improved, and so has his decision-making. He still takes players on, but he’s become better at choosing when to dribble and when to keep the ball moving, which makes him more effective in the final third.

Soule’s rise at Roma under Gasperini

Soule didn’t score or assist in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Sassuolo, but Gasperini still called his performance “extraordinary”. Roma are unbeaten after 11 games and two points behind leaders Lazio.

His form also earned him a first Argentina cap from Lionel Scaloni in last month’s 7-0 friendly win over Burkina Faso.

It’s quite a turnaround from the summer, when he was linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico. He carried the team through the first half of last season before pubalgia affected the end of his campaign, and he eventually missed around six weeks.

Dybala is expected back after the international break, but he has shown Roma can rely on him.
