The Frenchman, a benchmark of the Fonseca team, does not lose the habit of scoring: now Nainggolan is in his sights
It will be a Christmas of toasts and laughter for the Fonseca team, who landed thanks to yesterday’s 3-2 against Cagliari in third place alone in the standings. And it will be especially so for Jordan Veretout, who yesterday was also decisive in the success of Roma. His was the goal that opened the game, a right to crush the ball that made even a talent like Cragno skid. For the French this is the seventh goal in the League, the eighth also considering that of the Europa League (5 from penalties, since he is ruthless from the penalty spot). No midfielder in Italy is more prolific, but Veretout is also climbing this special ranking at the European level.
The run up to Europe

Better than him, only Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United (9 Premier League goals, 13 in total) and Lars Stindl of Borussia Moenchengladbach (8 in the Bundesliga and 3 in the cups) have done. Not bad Jordan, who this year also wants to beat his personal best, those 10 goals (8 in the League and 2 in the Italian Cup) in the 2017-18 season.
The Ninja in the crosshairs

But there is also more. Veretout is one of the basic pillars of the Fonseca team (he is the third most used player in this Serie A after Mkhitaryan and Ibanez) and as a token of appreciation for the confidence of the coach and the constant love of the fans, he aims to surpass Radja Nainggolan . , the last Giallorossi midfielder to go beyond 10 goals of the season: in 2016-17 he reached 11 league goals, scoring three more in the cups. Looking at the statistics, the goal seems within reach of the French, increasingly in a state of grace.
