Mario Hermoso also spoke alongside Gian Piero Gasperini on the eve of the match against Fenerbahce.

“The work we’re doing is important. These matches are training and are a compliment to what we do every day. The team has the mentality to be at their best. This season is incredibly important for us. We’re on the right path, for us and the fans, who are supportive of Roma. We want to put in a good competition, and it’s important for us not to concede goals. And to put our forwards in a position to score.”

The number 22 discussed how they prepared for the match in Trigoria: “We know that all the teams here have valuable players, we need to know the strengths of the teams and the players. Nothing changes between playing this match and the one two days ago. Maybe we need to raise the level a bit compared to the league.”

Regarding the team’s mental strength, the Spaniard said: “Mentality is part of us. Last year we also had a difficult time, and the team immediately sent out a message of strength. The coach is within all of us: the message is to play hard and with our heads held high against all teams. We must show that we have the confidence to win so that Roma can continue to thrive in these Champions League matches.”
