Gasperini: “I feel appreciated by Roma fans.”

Gasperini: “I feel appreciated by Roma fans.” Gian Piero Gasperini made the following statements to DAZN microphones a few hours before Roma-Inter. “Our positive start to the season? I was hoping so, we’d already had a good run-in. Compared to last year, we had an advantage, having had a year together.” “It’s a self-improving group, made up of young and older players of great value. Everyone contributes something, from the freshness of the young players who are always ready, to the quality of the established players whose training is an example to everyone.” “Balerdi? The belief was that we had signed a strong player, he had a very positive impact and this means that he is a professional who showed up prepared despite the fact that he did not do much of the preparation with us.” “Dybala and Malen? They complement each other; their characteristics complement each other perfectly. Dybala’s ability to spot Malen’s runs and the quality with which he serves him. Then there’s Malen’s extraordinary ability to translate seemingly simple moves into goals.” “The environment has a positive, not negative, influence. There’s great passion and a great love for the team. For my part, I immediately tried to join with the professionalism that has always accompanied me throughout my career, striving to gain appreciation for the work I do. Right now, I feel a lot of appreciation around me, and it’s also a great motivation to try to repay this trust.” “Scudetto aspirations? You can make all the best predictions; it’s right that people have their dreams and strive for the best. As for us, we have to face reality. We can only talk about objectives after about twenty games; it’s difficult to do so now with such a long season. We’re confident and want to stay at the top of the league; that’s our goal.”
