ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “It will be a different game than that of the championship but more fascinating and particular. I don’t like the word spanish much, but it makes the importance of the race: you’re in an event where you can continue to go ahead or go out, so in this sense it’s more important than a championship game.” The Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini said this, at a press conference on the eve of the return match of the eighth Europa League finals against Bologna, after the 1-1 of the Ara round.
“We have the conscience in place: the team’s commitment is total and this guarantees us serenity – added the Giallorossi technician on the recent crisis of results -. We all want to get the most, but what the team is doing is extraordinary. I also told the players, not to adorn the pill, but because I really believe that this group, since the beginning of the season, is demonstrating great seriousness, will and application, trying to do the most.”.
To monitor the conditions of Mancini, Kone and Celik who trained separately on yesterday’s day: “We evaluate them today with the last training. What’s worse is Kone.”.
Wesley’s press conference. “We all care about this. It has always been my goal to play in Europe, in European competitions. I know careers build around these trophies. They are commitments that require 100% of the concentration, they are started from inside or out. We must find ourselves absolutely ready, it is a very important game for us and for the whole environment”.
The duel with Bernardeschi was beautiful. “It is a very strong footballer, with important features. It was a very nice duel but in the pressure and scales that we do is the power station that goes out on the outside. I don’t know if it’s the best, because we have faced so many great players in that role as Conceicao, but certainly it’s very dangerous and we must be ready to challenge it”, the Brazilian, protagonist of a very intense week with the expulsion in the match against Como. “I didn’t commit a foul on Diao, I knew I was warned and I didn’t want to hurt the team. I was running side by side, leaning my arm on the opponent because he was falling on me. It is a serious, decisive and unacceptable episode,” his words.
Gian Piero Gasperini is also very direct. “The explanation of the Hague on Wesley’s expulsion? Revisioning the images, sometimes when you feel teased you also have to do a bit of a jerk face. And so we don’t put anyone in trouble.”
