Gasperini: Roma players are a little tired, Dovbik and Sveral are excellent

In the 5th round of Serie A last night, Roma defeated Verona 2-0 at home. Roma coach Gasperini attended the post-match press conference.

This is an important victory. What do you think of the game?

Yes, we are a little tired and some players are not recovering well enough. Verona has better spirit on the court than us, but these have not affected us to achieve this important result.

Dovbik started in this game and scored a goal

He responded well and could see that he was very active in the game. He still needs to continue to maintain a good condition and have room for improvement. He scored a great goal, which would increase his confidence. His growth has helped us a lot, he is passionate and able to improve.

Sveral made many saves in the game

very strong, very strong, he is a top goalkeeper. He played a decisive role in Roma's performance last season, and the same is true today. In addition to save, his presence and calm attitude also made the team feel at ease. His saves in the first and second half today were very critical, the first save was wonderful, and the second attack was very difficult, but he did a good job.

At what stage have you brought to Rome's new project?

I hope to continue to grow, haha. There was some fatigue in this game, so we often fell behind our opponents half a step when fighting. We were struggling to defend, but we were always threatening during the possession phase, just limited in getting the ball back. We have encountered difficulties, which makes me have to reflect. This is our first Wednesday game this season, a new situation where I need to observe which players recover faster and which ones are slower, but these need to be tested in practice. This Thursday we will play a very good team (Lill) in the Europa League, followed by the next round of Serie A away challenge to Fiorentina. I don’t have any difficulties dealing with intensive schedules, but we have to adapt gradually. In the game, Verona players can always grab the ball first. We can't grab it, but we are grabbed by our opponents first. When you encounter this situation in your home game, this is indeed a problem. If you want to grab the ball, you have to run faster.

Roma has temporarily risen to the top of the Serie A standings. Do you think Roma deserves this position?

I don't know, let's judge it. I focus on my team and let them play to their best. I enjoyed the progress of Pellegrini and Dovbik, and the debut of Thiorkovsky. This is great. Does the

team feel strong now?

It is too early to talk about this topic. We are very satisfied that the current ranking is what we deserve, but we should not pay too much attention to this aspect now. We have to work hard to win all the competitions and see the results later. How is

Pellegrini performing?

The long pass today was very effective, and Dovbik also controlled the ball well and created some threats. We don’t have to pursue playing fancy games. I was happy for Pellegrini, he responded well and held on for 90 minutes. It is very important for us that he can continue to perform like this.
