Tip: Every underlined skill is clickable

A tough, strong midfielder, who’s been a key factor in Rosario’s great season that ended with Copa

Sudamericana qualification.

Excels at the defensive department, and can also be deployed as a right back. In addition to his great

tackling ability, Jesus reads the game well, intercepts a great amount of balls, is tactically disciplined and he

excels in pressing opponents.

Offensively, Jesus excels at shifting the game from defense to offense and creating counter attacks, due to

his great vision and passing abilities. He’s technically gifted, dribbles well, and is a constant danger on the

opponents goal.

On the mental aspect, Jesus has a winner mentality – He works hard on the pitch, determines his teammates

and is one of Rosario’s fans favorites.
