Rome, Oct. 25 (LaPresse) – “The attitude to enter the penalty area? It can be trained and it is the main problem. We must train to do better, we must play as a unit in attack, focusing on positions and off-the-ball movements. Many things need to be done; just as we do in defensive organization, we can do it in attack as well. We have recovered all offensive players, including Dybala and Bailey, and we must turn things around positively.”
This is what Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini said on the eve of the match against Sassuolo. “We must work technically and tactically on the team and the play. Did I speak on Thursday about a self-examination? It referred to working on movements, off-the-ball runs, and areas of the pitch. I never used the word ‘soft’… There are periods like this, other times we were ahead. In Florence we turned the game around, but in these last matches we conceded ugly goals. Against Inter we had a great reaction and were unlucky; against Viktoria Plzen we should have done more despite the team’s second-half reaction. From an athletic point of view, we are fine,” he emphasized.
