Source: Forza Roma

Rodrigo Mora has praised Roma's strength after a win over Sassuolo, speaking to SkySport at the final whistle, and said he has scored in three consecutive league matches. He said he had been lucky to score another important goal, thanks to a fine pass from Donyell Malen. Mora said: "A great pass from Malen, I had a go and today I was lucky to score another important goal and Roma keep winning."

Asked whether he expected a team this strong, Mora said: "Yes, I thought it was a strong team, I saw it in training too and we are showing it on the pitch. We have to keep going like this and it will go well." On his own role, and how things have changed since the start of the season, with more game time now, he said: "Football is crazy, sometimes you play and sometimes you don't, but you have to be ready. It's my third consecutive league goal and I'm very happy."

Mora also spoke about his call-up to the Portugal squad. He said: "I'm proud, it's a pleasure to play for the national team. Ronaldo won't be there, but he is my idol, and I learned a lot from him when we shared the dressing room."

Roma beat Sassuolo 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in the 11th round of Serie A, the last match before the November international break. Il Messaggero notes that the win came after a Champions League defeat to Manchester United. Rodrigo Mora scored Roma's third goal from a combination with Donyell Malen, his third consecutive league goal after Cagliari and Udinese. Roma News adds that it is the first time he has scored in three straight Serie A matches in his Porto and Roma career.

Speaking to SkySport at the final whistle, Mora praised Roma's strength, said he had seen the team's quality in training, and thanked Malen for a "great pass." He said football is "crazy" and that players must stay ready whether or not they play. Roma News quotes him saying he noticed how hard his teammates work. Mora also said he was proud of his call-up to the Portugal squad and called Cristiano Ronaldo, who will not be in the squad, his idol. Il Messaggero, in a pre-match piece, reported that Jorge Jesus made the call-up as Ronaldo bid farewell to the Seleção, with Nations League fixtures against Wales and Denmark to follow.

The same pre-match report said Gian Piero Gasperini had made Mora a key figure with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini sidelined, and noted that Sassuolo had the division's worst defence. The outlets also differ on his age: the preview calls him 19, while the other coverage does not give one. Roma News reports a question about a hesitation before his shot, which Mora answered by thanking the studio journalists.

Rodrigo Mora dazzles with a late finish against Muric

Rodrigo Mora produced a standout performance, finishing with a precise, low strike at the near post, aimed at the bottom-right corner past Muric. The goal came after he had been controlling the ball beautifully in tight spaces, as his teammates looked for him. Throughout the match, Mora was repeatedly seen cushioning passes into the path of teammates, either in support or in the final third, with a touch as light as a feather that always seemed to find the right spot. At times he attempted switches of play with a confidence that occasionally bordered on risky, but it came from a clear awareness of his technical ability. The style was described as delicious as well as effective. The writer compared Mora's game to a simple, well-made pasta dish with butter and parmesan, which turned into something richer when he finished with a fine white truffle touch with his goal. The piece praises the way his display has won over the supporters, leaving Roma fans with plenty to enjoy from the 20-year-old's contribution.

The Roma defender reflected on the team's mentality following a difficult evening and stressed the importance of the result. Hermoso said: "This is something the coach wants.

He also scored a goal in the match, one that was described as the finish of a pure striker. Asked whether Gian Piero Gasperini is also developing the defenders, Hermoso said: "The coach gets you physically ready to find this kind of situation. We have the quality to get there, pass it well or shoot at goal."

Roma hit 31 goals in 11 matches after 3-0 win over Sassuolo

Roma continued their scoring run with a 3-0 win over Sassuolo, taking their tally to 31 goals in their first 11 matches of the season. According to Opta, only two sides have scored more in the first 11 games over the past 65 years: Juventus with 33 and Napoli with 32, both in the 2017/18 season. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has now surpassed his own record. In the 2019/20 season, he had stopped at 30 goals with Atalanta after the same number of matches, and this Roma side has moved past that mark. The win keeps the Giallorossi firing as they head into the international break. After the break, Roma travel to Parma, a ground that last year marked a turning point in their Champions League push. Malen and his teammates will look to keep the goals flowing against Parma when league action resumes.

Hermoso and Mora shine as Roma beat Sassuolo 3-0; Malen wasteful in front of goal

Roma eased past Sassuolo 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico this evening in their Serie A matchday 11 fixture, a comfortable win that was never in serious doubt. Gian Piero Gasperini's side took the lead through Mario Hermoso, who controlled the ball in the area, set it onto his left foot and drove it into the net, a goal that broke open a difficult game. Malen's cross-field play led to an own goal that doubled the lead, and Rodrigo Mora finished off the 3-0 scoreline in the second half. The result came against a Sassuolo side that offered little in attack. Roma struggled to break down their wall for long spells, which made Hermoso's finish all the more important. Gasperini's team were not at their most fluent, but they controlled the match and showed the qualities and organisation that have marked their season. Arriving at the international break with this level of performance, despite a crowded fixture schedule and several absences, is a strong return for the squad. In the player ratings, Hermoso earned a 7.5 for his goal and a display of quality, with openings and illuminating touches. Balerdi was rated a 7 for a commanding performance, going close with a central run that Muric turned behind for a corner. Koné also received a 7, providing balance in midfield and offering dangerous central runs, while Cristante rose to a 7 after a shaky start, taking control of the midfield in the second half. Mora, also rated 7, was described as having a special touch, with a finish in the second half that was far from straightforward. Gasperini himself was given a 7. Ndicka and Molina both earned 6.5, Ndicka for a solid defensive display and Molina for growing into the game after a quiet first half. Wesley and Soulé were each rated 6.5. Wesley worked tirelessly but lacked the final ball, while Soulé kept possession well without a goal or assist. Vásquez received a 6, having had little to do. Malen was rated a 6, having wasted an incredible number of chances despite his involvement in the opening goal, the own goal and the assist for Mora's third. Pisilli, who came on in the 65th minute, was also rated a 6 after several efforts that Muric stopped, and De Roon, also introduced on 65 minutes, earned a 6 for his composure in midfield. Koulierakis and Castro came on in the 76th minute, and Ghilardi replaced Balerdi in the 84th, with no ratings given for their short appearances. The result leaves Roma with a clean sheet and three goals, with Gasperini's side described as having made a significant step forward. The next Roma fixture is not covered in the report.
