Provided Three Assists in One Game, Lorenzo Pellegrini Equalized El Shaarawy Records

DBasia.news –  AS Roma won 4-2 in the continued Serie A match at the Stadio Olimpico against Sassuolo on Sunday (9/15) evening Western Indonesian Time. In the match, Lorenzo Pellegrini provided three assists

Before the duel against Sassuolo was held, the Giallorossi coach, Paulo Fonseca, insisted not to disclose to the press crew about Pellegrini’s playing position.

“Pellegrini is a smart player who can fill many positions. I will not say in which position he will be playing tomorrow 16/09/2019,” Fonseca said at a press conference ahead of the duel against Sassuolo.

Pellegrini’s placement was a deadly secret weapon for Rome to hit Sassuolo. Pellegrini contributed three assists at a time when the Giallorossi smothered Sassuolo 4-2 at the Olimpico on Sunday (9/15).  

User number seven was placed by Fonseca as a hole attacker in the 4-2-3-1 formation, just behind the bomber, Edin Dzeko. In the two previous matches on the Serie A stage, Pellegrini occupied the twin anchor posts with Bryan Cristante.  

Via measured passes, Pellegrini opened the way for Cristante, Henrik Mkhitaryan, and Justin Kluivert to score against Sassuolo. It’s been a while since fans haven’t seen three assists at a time made by a Roma player in one match.  

The last figure who can do that is Stephan El Shaarawy. Just like Pellegrini, El Shaarawy scored a hat-trick assist when Roma won a landslide victory 4-1 at the Pescara headquarters on April 24, 2017. 

At that time, El Shaarawy created Kevin Strootman’s goal and allowed Mohamed Salah to enter the scoreboard twice.
