This season Farias has struggled with injury problems, but scored seven goals with two assists in 18 Serie A appearances.

Since finding his fitness, he has scored three goals in the last two rounds against Napoli and Empoli.

What Montella seems to appreciate the most is his tactical versatility, as right-footed Farias can play on the right wing, as a striker, a trequartista or on the left.
