Luis Muriel, the one many call the gold substitute, continues to garner praise after scoring a double in the recent 2-2 draw against Torino in Serie A.

The Colombian adds 18 goals starting from the substitution in Serie A and that makes his role highly valued.

“Did you see that feint in front of goalkeeper Mirante? He looked like my Brazilian friend Ronaldo. The South Americans have things in their blood, his elegance is the same as Ronnie’s,” Nicola Ventola, another extremely effective forward from the substitution.

In Gazzetta dello Sport, the former striker said that the most important thing is that the Colombian does not feel in a secondary role despite not always being among the headlines.

“Staying out is good and I think that Muriel and Gasperini have a sincere relationship, because if a player is always ready when he enters, it means that he is aware of his role and importance in the project. He knows very well that his entries on the field they are devastating for the rivals, “explained Ventola.

“I tell you a secret: if an attacker has known for days that he will be on the bench, mentally he prepares himself better for the moment he steps on the field. On the other hand, if he discovers it only on the eve, it is disappointing,” he concluded.

Muriel is 7 goals behind Alessandro Matri’s record and, at the rate she’s going, she doesn’t have much to go to beat it.
