Pellegrini Lorenzo
Lorenzo Pellegrini is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Roma and the Italy national team. He is an academy graduate of Roma, having joined the club in 2007, and made his senior debut in 2015. He departed for Sassuolo later that year where he made over 50 appearances across all competitions before returning to Roma in July 2017. Born in Rome, Pellegrini, who had suffered from arrhythmia as a youngster, joined the youth academy of local side Roma at the age of nine. Having previously represented the club in the UEFA Youth League, he was handed his senior debut at the age of 18 by manager Rudi Garcia on 22 March 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Salih Uçan in a 1–0 Serie A win over Cesena.

This shirt was issued for Lorenzo Pellegrini for the Serie A game between Roma and Atalanta which took place in Roma, “Stadio Olimpico”, on September 25th 2019. Atalanta defeated Roma 2-0. This shirt has been used by the team in this game only. It is a special shirt with special name and numbering on the back, as part of the club’s partnership with cult lifestyle brand Tokidoki. The recently-announced partnership between AS Roma and Tokidoki began with Tokidoki founder Simone Legno redesigning the club’s mascot, Romolo. Players played instead the game against Atalanta with Tokidoki-themed elements on their numbers and name sets. Together with these special numbering and lettering on shirts, the club also announced that, at the same time, an initial capsule collection of Roma x Tokidoki products was released – including a 3D Romolo toy, a selection of clothing and some limited edition New Era caps.

Did you Know?
This shirt was issued for Lorenzo Pellegrini for a Uefa Europa League game of the season 2019/2020. This style of shirt was prepared starting the second game of the competition. Indeed following a debut in the match against Istanbul Basaksehir on September 19th 2019, wearing the kit as it was originally released, the Roma 2019-2020 third kit underwent a small but noticeable change for the match against Wolfsberg. Whereas the original Roma 19-20 third shirt (and the one sold in shops) features two distinct logos inside the all-over pattern print, the one worn against Wolfsberg does away with the ‘ASR’ logo and only features the ‘Lupetto’. As already suspected by fans, this change was made due to a complaint by UEFA. As ilromanista.eu point out, the UEFA kit rules state that no more than two logos may feature on a club’s shirt. With the original Roma badge taking the space on the chest, the club had to make a choice between the Lupetto and the ‘ASR’ lettermark. The Lupetto is probably the right choice here, although it definitely makes the kit a bit worse than it originally us. Fortunately for all fans, the rules do not apply to the Serie A or shirts that are sold in stores, making this shirt a very rare kit used by the team in only few games.

Did you Know?
Regarded as a promising young player, from a tactical standpoint, Pellegrini’s natural role is that of a central midfielder, who can be deployed in any position in a three-man midfield, although he is also capable of playing as an attacking midfielder and as a defensive midfielder. A tall, physically strong, yet agile, dynamic, energetic, and hard-working midfielder, his main characteristics are his stamina, ball control, movement, flair, and ability to make attacking runs into the penalty area from behind, as well as his eye for goal, and his striking ability from distance with either foot, despite being naturally right-footed. A former central defender in his youth, he is also an effective ball-winner, which enables him to break down possession, while his vision and technical skills allow him subsequently to carry or distribute the ball and provide assists for his teammates. His wide range of skills thus enable him to contribute at both ends of the pitch, and make him effective in linking both the defensive and offensive aspects of the game in a box-to-box role.
