Leonardo Balerdi, in less than 30 minutes, has earned the trust of Roma fans.
The Argentine defender, who came on as a 67th-minute substitute for Ndicka against Atalanta, made a significant contribution to shifting the momentum of the game in favor of the Giallorossi.
Born in 1999, Balerdi helped the Giallorossi raise their game, winning every duel with the Bergamo forwards.
In the hell of Istanbul against Fenerbahçe, Roma will need players who are ready, motivated, athletically at their best, and with some experience at this level. Gasperini might even consider starting Leonardo Balerdi.
Leonardo Balerdi’s starting role against Fenerbahce cannot be ruled out.
As Corriere dello Sport writes, the Argentine center-back, a captain, echoing Gasperini’s words, cannot be ruled out a priori.
The 1999-born player is a defensive option for the Grugliasco-born coach, although on paper, Ndicka, Hermoso, and Mancini remain ahead of the game in Istanbul.
