Manu Kone considered Roma’s most important midfielder by Ivan Juric | OneFootball

Roma manager Ivan Juric has had the possibility to experiment with Manu Kone in the line-up.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Kone – who was strongly wanted by De Rossi to give substance to the midfield – has impressed Juric.

Juric, after having worked on him in this last month, considers him an increasingly important player for his midfield: perhaps the most important one given his qualities.

The Croatian boss had kept him out against Udinese, not convinced of his athletic condition; then except for the match with the maxi turnover against Elfsborg he has always considered him a starter.

In from the first minute against Venezia, Monza and Athletic Bilbao. And now he is ready for the starting shirt against Inter, a match in which his physicality, aggressiveness and quality with the ball at his feet will be needed.

Because in fact Koné corresponds to the ideal prototype of the new footballer whom Juric relies on: muscles and technique.
