My Take
Erik Lamela was always one of football's most beautiful gambles. From River Plate to a teenage move to Roma for over twelve million euros, he carried sky-high expectations his whole career. At 189 cm he had an unexpectedly delicate touch, and that backheel rabona remains one of the most audacious goals I've ever seen. He drew criticism when the hype outran the output, but I valued his imagination and his knack for a moment of magic. Hearing that he moved into coaching at Sevilla feels right; a mind that creative deserves to pass its tricks to the next generation.
