The words of the Giallorossi coach after today’s match against Sassuolo, a 2-0 win: “In the second half we raised the pace and brought in more quality. Dybala is extraordinary, he will score in important matches”
A sumptuous recovery by Roma was enough to knock out Sassuolo and move away from Como, temporarily taking third place in the standings. In the emergency (6 springs on the bench) Gasperini found a performance that makes him smile more than other times. “I have to give credit to these guys for their commitment, sacrifice but also for the qualities they are showing – said the coach -. In the first half the performance wasn’t valued because we were inconclusive up front. In the second half we raised the pace and brought in more quality. I saw what I often see in training, the ability to play in tight spaces”.

Then Gasperini talks about the individuals. Starting with Dybala. “To score he waits for the difficult matches – Gasp jokes -. I’m happy with him, he’s having fun. He’s shown an extraordinary repertoire, the moment of scoring will come and the strength in his shot like he did before. Soulé has played more in the central area, we had already tried him there. He can give more imagination, he was very good. In training I see him doing extraordinary things near the goal, in the match he has to do it with more continuity”, declared the coach at the end of the match. Gasp also spoke about the condition of Ferguson who left before the end of the first half. “Ferguson? He took a blow, they are painful blows that semi-paralyze you. He took more than one, but I don’t think it’s a serious problem that will take days to recover from.”

The closure is on the transfer market, but just as in the conference, Gasperini prefers not to name names: “Raspadori? I won’t go into this topic, it’s unpleasant to talk about players who aren’t ours. I’m talking about my players who are doing better and better, it’s a question of respect for those who are giving their all. If someone arrives then we’ll see and I’ll talk about it. We go on for months, months talking and in the meantime we play cups and championships with those we have. We fuel broadcasts and discussions.”
THE ARROW

The Roma coach reinforces the concept: “There’s too much talk about players who aren’t here. I see that we don’t know anything about many clubs and then they present the players. We talk for months about players who aren’t here and in the meantime we play in the league and in the cup with these players.”
