Sean Sogliano is a skilled navigator, charting unexplored paths in the world of football. Recently, he has added to the Verona squad a duo that caused chaos for Napoli. Dailon Livramento scored one goal, while Daniel Mosquera netted two, leading to an electrifying debut that thrilled the Bentegodi Stadium. The club invested around €1.5 million to bring these talents in, showcasing Sogliano’s sharp instincts as a sporting director who seeks players where others may overlook them.
Mosquera, who joined from América de Cali, had previously made his mark while on loan at Atlético Bucaramanga, helping them win their first Colombian title. Livramento, a Cape Verdean with a flair for dance and a rap artist brother, arrived from the Netherlands, where he scored a multitude of goals last season playing for MVV Maastricht in the Eerste Divisie (the Dutch second division).
Napoli’s defense seemed completely baffled when Verona pressed forward. Livramento stunned them with a brilliant tip-toe finish to open the scoring. Just a short time later, Mosquera, who had just entered the game, sealed the deal with a second goal. In the closing moments, Mosquera struck again, channeling his inspiration from Duvan Zapata and the creative flair of Tino Asprilla.
Napoli simply fell apart during this match, overwhelmed by the lively performance of Verona’s forwards. Livramento, a fan of Michael Jackson, demonstrated his version of the moonwalk in what turned out to be a magical evening for him and Hellas Verona. Meanwhile, Mosquera expressed his excitement: “I have always dreamed of playing and scoring in a European league, and debuting with a brace makes me incredibly happy. Vamos Verona!”
As Livramento soaked in the electric atmosphere of the stadium, he remarked, “It’s incredible to score and feel important in such a setting.” Although Sogliano typically keeps a stoic demeanor, he surely couldn’t help but smile at the successful debut of his new signings.
