Gasperini speaks to the media ahead of Lille match: “We will need to be alert.” | OneFootball

Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the media on the eve of the Europa League fixture with Lille.

“Lille is a dynamic team, they play attackingly. They had a bad start to the season, but they will have to be alert and prepared.”

“Ferguson? He’s a young player who performed well two years ago, but struggled last year and played very little. The aim is to bring him back to his former glory. It’s important for both him and Dovbyk to grow physically.”

“I am currently working outside my comfort zone. By comfort zone, I mean habits acquired over the years, and then perhaps due to your characteristics, you find yourself having to change. For example, it’s not normal for me to finish matches with two midfielders deployed as attackers, but the situation now forces me to do this too.”

“Fatigue? The fatigue isn’t physical; it’s not easy to get out of games like the derby. Verona had a better reaction than us, but I never thought it was a physical problem. Always thinking about the next game isn’t easy.”

“We’re doing very well at the back, and 19 players have played at least three games. Ziolkowski made his debut on Sunday, and Ghilardi will soon be the one to make his debut. The defense is performing well right now.”

“Wesley has played 30 consecutive games with Flamengo, but the season has just begun for him. He’s shown a strong motor and excellent ability to get into the game. In fact, we’ve only been here a few games; he can still improve.”
