Diego Llorente may have forced AS Roma reconsider activating the clause in light of his most recent performance, despite several rumors that they were considering bringing him in permanently from Leeds United.
The small Igor Paixão scored a header in the Europa League match against Feyenoord on Thursday, thanks to a mistake made by the Spaniard, who started for Daniele De Rossi’s team. The result was a 1-1 draw.
The Leeds loanee receives extremely low marks from Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport when it comes to their rankings of the players on the field; the latter even calls him “The Worst.”
The former gave him a score of 4.5/10, stating that it was a “bad thing” that the Brazilian forward “paraded him like this.” He had spotted the forward enter the box, followed him at first, but lost him in a way that allowed him to score, and “when he finds him again, the ball is in the net.”
They also concur with Corriere dello Sport that the Leeds man made a “serious error” in this regard.
The 187-cm-tall defender let the 168-cm Brazilian score with his head, and they question him, “What were you looking at?”
Not exactly a perfect evaluation for the Leeds loanee, who will now need to recover as soon as possible and hope that this performance doesn’t cause him to fall down the rankings, since Evan N’Dicka is back after helping Ivory Coast win the AFCON.
