His words: “We met an organized and very physical Pisa, always very insidious especially on the air game”
Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the microphones of Sky At the end of the match won against the Pisa. These are his words:
How do you evaluate the performance of Rome? What satisfaction is there? “Globally the performance was very good, we suffered at the beginning. We met an organized and very physical Pisa, always very insidious especially on the air game. We risked at the beginning but then we came out, even if not with great concreteness. In the second half we did really well, perhaps we also deserved an extra goal”.
Dybala entered well, put his hand on Soulé’s goal. “It was a beautiful departmental action, attack. They exchanged the three players, both Paulo and Ferguson and Soulé who has aimed very well. We dominated the game for a long time, but the races against the teams that keep strong physically require important games, not only individual but also of the department”.
Did Koné’s position, more open, wanted? “Undoubtedly he has the ability to play both a little wider and a little more centrally. Today Cristante was very central, then on that side they had to climb a little more late. When he takes speed and difficult to contain. In that area he managed to find space to get away, he is a ball carrier but is very effective”.
When he entered he left Dybala on the left and not on the right: why? “Soulé on the right was the man who managed to jump more than everyone the opponent and to create numerical superiority, in that area we were doing well and I did not want to move it. I am convinced that Paulo can play everywhere, even from the left or from 10 advanced. This does not lead him to kick with the left from behind, but he can still create external situations. I do not believe that a player must necessarily play in his flower, a great player, Attack because he always knows what to do.
It was not obvious that in the first two games his game and his attitude was already recognizable. “This is the most extraordinary thing, it is thanks to these guys and this group that I inherited from Ranieri. He had already given a very strong mentality and last year he had given him the opportunity to play an amazing second round, while playing with another system and with other concepts. I believe that this group immediately followed me in an extraordinary way and for this reason I am grateful to them. Perhaps he had remained a little bit of bitterness in this group. There are the conditions to be very serious, determined and convinced: when there are these components already very strong, then we hope to add the other “.
You have not granted anything behind in the second half. He is happy with the performance, what was missing at the beginning? “There are also the opponents who had started enthusiastically given the full stadium. Indeed we were good in those moments also because we risked in a couple of situation. We never disunited and even at the end of the first half we went out well”.
Had he already perceived that he could already be so ahead to be a new project in the pre -season? “The merit is of the boys as they welcomed me and how they married my way of interpreting football. They gave enormous availability on the tactical and athletic level. The friendly matches were all thick except with the Aston Villa. I am really satisfied, happy for them because it is a group with healthy and important values. This is the basis on which I then try to put my way of playing.
However, help from the market would be useful. “We wait for Tuesday and then we will bring the sums”.
Is Dybala-Soulé the future of Rome on the trocar? “I am the present. I live in present and tonight, Soulé for almost the whole game and Dybala when he entered they played with great quality. We must hope that Dybala is fine and that he does not have physical hitches. They are two very important players”.
Gasperini at the press conference
It is satisfied. I wanted to go to the singles starting from Ferguson, how do you judge his game? “I did not take it off for the mistake he made. Dobyk at that moment could have been fresh and decisive. Ferguson must grow athleticly, it comes from the north and is used to other temperatures. When it grows it will become even stronger and useful for us”.
Is Dybala on the left is the ideal solution to make it coexist with Soulé? At what point is Roma from zero to 100? “There is not only the possibility of Dybala on the left, Soulé can also play. A player does not have to play in a hil of comfort. Soulé is an important player for the team. We must also change according to the opponent and knowing how to play against everyone. From zero to one hundred? I am satisfied with the work done so far. He has an identity and now we have to work on the details more than on the organization in general. They are acquired by playing many games “.
He said it is necessary to adapt to the opponents. What opponent did he find tonight? “I found an opponent that I really liked. I am a beautiful team, dangerous in the air game and enjoys a particular enthusiasm rightly. They will make an excellent championship and it was difficult. It took a very good Rome. When the game domains the opponent falls and in the second it was, we could also make an extra goal”.
Are you confident on the market? Is the goal the Champions League? “We talk about it on Tuesday because talking about assumptions is difficult. I have always been very clear about my priorities and when the market is over we will see what will happen”.
