Capello: “I’m not surprised to see Roma doing well.” | OneFootball

This Serie A is entertaining: crowded, with eight teams between 10 and 13 points in the standings, but above all, finally having an edge.

And Fabio Capello is enjoying it, as he explained in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Seeing Roma at the top of the table doesn’t surprise me: along with Inter, they’ve been the most ready team since the start of the season, and they’re proving it.”

“They played very well in the head-to-head match. Inter have players who make the difference, but there’s a question mark. Namely, why so many goals conceded? Something’s not working. You can’t always succeed in what you’ve achieved in these last few games, starting with Real Madrid, against whom they lost.”

“What can Roma learn from the 2-2 draw with Inter? What a huge expense full-court pressing is. Ultimately, when attention drops, top-tier opponents—like Inter—take advantage. And it’s been seen. Roma has everything it takes to be competitive in the league and has top-notch players who are determined to do very well. Gasperini managed to convince them right from the transfer window: the players and the coach really wanted each other, and it shows that this team believes in itself. Some have even cut their salaries… I see desire and awareness.”
