While Russo is naturally the center of attention as a number 9, she has spent part of the season adapting to a more withdrawn role. This tactical flexibility has added a new dimension to his game, even if his first instinct remains to find the net. Against Tottenham, she proved that she could do it all: a perfect header, a clinical finish after rounding the goalkeeper, and an opportunistic goal following a defensive error.
Responding to the debate over his best position, Russo said: “Now that I understand the intricacies of the number 10 position a little better, I find it a little easier. Knowing what I have to do without the ball is essential, it’s an important role in the team. With the ball, I like both positions because they allow me to express different facets of my game. I’ll play anywhere, I don’t care. »
