Gasperini laments Roma’s performance in Inter collapse: “We’re not at full strength, we continue to lose players.” | OneFootball

Roma left San Siro with a heavy defeat.

After a solid first half, barring a disastrous approach, the Giallorossi team collapsed in the second.

The final score was overwhelming: 5-2 to Inter Chivu.

Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to DAZN after the match.

The Rome native’s coach on the second-half blackout. “After the third goal, yes. The first half ended 2-1 to Inter, and I saw a lot of Roma in the middle. The first half was very good, but finishing behind was a blow to our morale. After the third goal, it was a struggle.”

Gasperini on Mancini’s injury and the numerous absences: “He’s a linchpin, he’s an important player. When we manage to be at full strength, like in the first half of the season, we’re much more competitive. We’re missing a few players in turn today, Wesley Koné, and then Mancini had to come off. Everyone gave their all. The match was a two-faced affair. In the first half, I saw a lot of Roma, but then, at 3-1, the game was over. Inter also deserve credit for being a great team.”

Gasperini on Roma’s form after Gatti’s goal: “There have been different games, we’ve put in some good performances, tonight is the first time we’ve missed a half, after the third goal there was a drop in morale. This is a team that’s coming back, losing in Milan is normal, but not on this scale.”

The Giallorossi coach on the race for fourth place: “It’s difficult for us, for Juventus, Como, and Atalanta. We have seven games left and eight for the others, we’re a bit behind, but we’ll do everything we can to catch up.”
