No interviews for the coach after the success in Lecce: the bad mood due to the transfer delays on Zirkzee and Raspadori weighs heavily. Tomorrow Dan Friedkin will arrive in the capital for an emergency meeting with the management and coach
Silence can make more noise than words. This is why Gian Piero Gasperini chose not to speak after Roma’s success in Lecce this afternoon. “A personal decision”, the club limited itself to communicating. But that hides the discontent over some market moves that did not materialize and are now in danger of collapsing. In particular those that lead to the names of Zirkzee and Raspadori. Gasperini avoided the microphones so as not to further raise the temperature knowing that many questions would bring up the market itself.

A palpable tension already after the defeat in Bergamo when a heated argument broke out between Gasperini and Massara. Not the first friction in a relationship that never blossomed. The coach, in fact, claims the promises made in August and then reiterated in December regarding the team’s offensive reinforcements. Gasp expected at least one purchase in these first days of the transfer market considering that the negotiations for Sancho and Gimenez had ended in the summer. Instead, the Zirkzee issue became complicated with Amorim’s dismissal. And Raspadori is in Arabia playing the Spanish Super Cup without having yet given a definitive answer.
Friedkin arrives

A hot climate that tomorrow will try to directly extinguish Dan Friedkin. The president of Roma, in fact, is expected in the capital in the morning and will meet Gasperini himself as well as the management formed by Massara and Ranieri. A summit to clarify the situation and listen to Gasp’s requests, which had already been expressed during a video call on Monday morning. The coach wants to understand the club’s present and future plans also in view of the summer when, between finished loans and failed renewals, many will leave Trigoria. But above all he would like to plan the moves for January net of the limits imposed by Financial Fair Play.
