The Giallorossi coach celebrates the victory at Rangers, which puts Roma back on track in the Europa League. Captain Pellegrini is also satisfied: “We needed this goal, now I’m freer in my head”
Roma also regains share in Europe. Against the Rangers in Glasgow, Gasp’s team prevailed without too many problems, closing the Scottish practice in the first half and managing the second half, just with some initial worries. An important victory, especially after the defeat at San Siro and in the midst of an offensive emergency given the injuries to Ferguson, Dybala and Bailey. At the end of the match Gasperini was satisfied above all with the performance. “Convincing performance, winning on these pitches and in these environments is never easy – begins the coach -. On an athletic level it was demanding, we had some problems at the start of the second half but it’s appropriate in this type of match”.

Gasp then draws up an initial assessment while awaiting the break: “We are growing in terms of performance even if we don’t always get the result. I always believe that these performances give conviction, even in the defeats against Inter and Milan we came out confident. Some defeats help, and that’s not a figure of speech.” Gasp is also happy for the offensive phase which has returned, at least for one evening, to being lucid. “The second goal seems to me to be a good example of communication between attackers – confirms the coach -. You have to find confidence and if you score these goals then you score others. Dovbyk? He shows a superior physical condition, even tonight he was involved in Pellegrini’s second goal. He also tried to shoot on goal, sooner or later he will find the net. Overall he is a player who is growing. We are suffering from the lack of Dybala, Ferguson and Bailey and we have difficulties in the substitutions. Now let’s close the cycle well with Udinese then I hope to recover someone.”

Lorenzo Pellegrini’s performance was decisive as he returned to scoring in Europe too. “I had a difficult summer, we needed this goal – admits the former captain -. I’m very happy and I feel freer in my head, Gasp is a demanding guy but he has understood which are the right chords to touch. It’s a pleasure for me as a player and as a fan that he is Roma’s coach”. Also because the growth is evident. “We also won matches at the beginning of the season but not with this determination and conviction. We are improving a lot and now we have to continue like this because for me we can do even better. We are improving our communication up front. Today, for example, we could have scored more.”
