Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante is steadily becoming one of the most reliable players in Jose Mourinho’s managerial career.

Cristante’s versatility and adaptability to any situation the team is involved in – argues La Gazzetta dello Sport – has put him on a special pedestal in the Special One’s eyes.

Most recently, Cristante has filled in for Diego Llorente in Roma’s backline, playing as a centreback versus Frosinone.

In addition to this, Cristante is also one of the more consistent performers for Roma this season with 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 games in Serie A.

For Mourinho, Cristante remains untouchable – an irreplaceable point of reference for the rest of the team and a personal favorite with whom he is on very good terms.
