When he broke out with the Under 20 National Team in the 2023 World Cup,
Matías Soulé - perhaps hastily - was designated as
Ángel Di María
's successor
.
At that time he was still playing for Juventus, but at the beginning of this 23/24 season he made a decision that, in light of the results, was correct.
He went to
Frosinone
in search of many minutes and many great goals, like the one he
scored this Sunday to give him a key victory against Cagliari
, although in this case
he was more like Lionel Messi than Fideo with his finishing
.
The thing is that the man from Mar del Plata, who emigrated under parental authority at just 15 years old from Vélez to Europe, drew a spectacular curve with his left foot in the final minutes to tip the result in favor of Frosinone, who came back from Cagliari (3-1) to move away from the relegation zone of Italy's Serie A.
BUT WHAT A GREAT GOAL MATÍAS!
SOULÉ SCORE FROSINONE'S 2-1 VS.
CAGLIARI WITH THIS SPECTACULAR FREE KICK!
TO PUT A BOX!

There were 7 consecutive games in Serie A that Frosinone had accumulated without winning and an elimination from the Coppa Italia against Juventus.
A bad streak for the team led by the Italian Di Francesco that Turati saved between the sticks with two saving hands in added time and
Soulé with the umpteenth display of quality with his left foot
, confirming that he is a real option for
Lionel Scaloni
in the Major League. , after he confirmed several times
his desire to play with the Albiceleste
, beyond Italy's multiple attempts to have him in their ranks.
On loan from Juve until this month of June,
Soulé is one of the revelations of the Italian championship
.
Despite his youth, it is not surprising that in a Frosinone with the lowest average age in the entire league, he has assumed the responsibility like a veteran.
He has freedom all over the field, he goes down to create play, he appears close to the wing and between the lines to make the last pass.
His lineage of engagement, a role that he played in the beginning, allows him to have a range of options.
And he also has a goal, he already has
9 goals
in the current Serie A season, which places him as the sixth top scorer tied with big names like
Lukaku
,
Vlahovic
and
Calhanoglu
.
Matías Soulé celebrates his great goal for Frosinone in Italian Serie A.
Against Cagliari he was the material author of the comeback, because the Sardinian team coached by Caludio Ranieri, who is fighting to avoid relegation, took the lead on the scoreboard with Sulemana's goal.
An encouraging goal for a team that seems to have found a competitive level and that came into the duel with three consecutive games in a row.
But in the second half Frosinone reacted and turned the score around.
First with Mazzitelli's tie;
and later, with 15 minutes remaining, with Soulé's delicate left foot shot, which avoided the barrier and the crossbar with a perfect curl to make it 2-1.
With Cagliari already committed to attack, close to the tie that Turati denied under the sticks, another player owned by 'Juve' emerged, the Brazilian
Kaio Jorge
, to end the duel in a counterattack.
Frosinone escapes from the danger positions, while Cagliari remains fully in the fight for the bottom zone.
