Gian Piero Gasperini can have a peaceful New Year’s Eve. Roma, in fact, find their smile again and return to fourth place awaiting the coach’s great return to Bergamo. The success against Genoa was all too simple. Gasp enjoys it at the end of the game. “We moved well up front, we were always dangerous in terms of insertions and dribbling quality. In the second half I would have liked the same attitude, the match was a bit out of date but we can bring out many good things today.”
DYBALA

Good answers also came from Dybala. And Gasp reiterates: “If he doesn’t have injuries, he always plays. Roma don’t have players with such high quality. When he has this condition, the plays we’ve seen come out, but even if he’s in halfway condition, that’s fine for me anyway. I’ll only keep him out if he’s injured. Koné? Everyone has room for progress. We’re talking about a French international, he has incredible qualities. If he scored even more goals, he wouldn’t be at Roma but in other places.”
FERGUSON

Then Gasperini returns to the Ferguson issue. “I don’t know the statistics relating to when a more physical or less physical number 9 plays, but I tell you that Ferguson played practically all the time and so did Dovbyk until he was injured – the coach becomes serious – It always depends on how you read them. The point is that you cannot make the wrong attitude or lower the intensity in this team”. Ferguson himself avoided controversy at the end of the match: “I work with my head down and when I have the opportunity to play I try to do well. Tonight I succeeded. Italian football is an experience I wanted to try, I’m increasingly settling in.”
