Gasperini previews Roma-Hellas Verona: “I have a core group of players.” | OneFootball

Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini attended today’s pre-match press conference to preview Sunday’s clash with Hellas Verona.

“I never like to rotate the squad too much. Those who feel fit will play,” said the coach.

“We’re coming off two victories. We’re happy with the results, we can’t look back. We always have to give our best, no matter what.”

“Dovbyk and Ferguson are always competing for positions, depending on the match. Artem seems to be growing athletically.”

“We need to consolidate some certainties and then bring others. Matches like tomorrow’s are dangerous, we need energy and strength to obtain the results we want.”

“Hermoso and Celik are doing well, Ziolkowski and Ghilardi will have space later on. They’re unlucky because they have strong defenders ahead of them.”

“I have a core group and I’ll continue with that, then I’ll gradually add someone else as the season goes on,” he explained.

“From Svilar to Soulé there are 8-9 players who are very reliable and present, always very competitive and for me they represent the core of this team.”

“We cannot rely so heavily on Angelino or we risk running him into the ground. He will alternate with Tsimikas from game to game.”
