Italian media praise Tammy Abraham after his brace against Lazio. La Gazzetta dello Sport described the Roma star as the ‘King of the party’ highlighting that ‘his mentality is one of his secrets.’
The former Chelsea striker hit the headlines in Italy this morning thanks to a brace scored against Lazio in the Rome derby yesterday. The 24-year-old has now scored 23 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions, more than club legends Gabriel Omar Batistuta and Vincenzo Montella managed in their first season at the club.
Abraham was understandably named MOTM by every Italian sports paper. La Gazzetta dello Sport called him the ‘King of the party’ and noticed a little detail during the match.
‘He celebrated more for a ball recovery in midfield than his two goals,’ wrote the pink paper.
‘The mentality is one of his secrets. He misfired the potential hat-trick after an exquisite first touch.’
The England international was rated 8/10 by all three Italian sports papers. He was called ‘thunderbolt’ by Rome-based paper Il Corriere dello Sport, highlighting that Abraham could have made his day even more memorable by scoring a hat-trick. For this time, his two goals are more than enough.
