Summary

- Sarmiento expressed feeling at home at the Riverside stadium.

Jeremy Sarmiento delivered a decisive performance on Tuesday, scoring a goal and providing an assist in Middlesbrough's 3-1 triumph against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup. Since making his permanent move to the Riverside Stadium this summer, Sarmiento has articulated a sense of belonging, stating he "feels at home."
This sentiment is crucial for his development, according to former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison. Maddison, now an academy ambassador, observed Sarmiento's industrious effort during the match. He acknowledged that the winger sometimes "does too much" with the ball but highlighted his significant potential.
Maddison further elaborated on Sarmiento's strengths, describing him as a player who can be "difficult to contend with" due to his exceptional quickness. While his on-ball tricks are effective when they succeed, Maddison suggested that consistency remains an area for refinement.
