Ghilardi: “I’m happy with trust Gasperini is placing in me.” | OneFootball

The night at the Olimpico against AC Milan confirmed the solidity of Roma’s defense, with Daniele Ghilardi once again a key player in the defensive trio.

The 2003-born defender, now firmly established in Gian Piero Gasperini’s rotation, delivered a focused performance, helping to contain the Rossoneri’s attacking pressure and confirming the progress already seen in recent European outings.

After the match, the defender commented on the match’s progress and his personal situation.

On Roma’s superiority in the first half: “We created a lot, but we weren’t able to finish, only in the second half with the penalty. We could have finished more in the first half, but then we regained control. A draw isn’t a defeat, so that’s fine. Although, if we had won, it would have been better.”

On his consistent performance and increasingly consistent playing time: “I’ve been getting more minutes of action lately. In the early stages, I adapted, and I also had to understand what the coach was asking of me. Now I’m happy with the confidence the coach is giving me.”

Finally, Ghilardi reiterated the coach’s central role: “The coach’s work and help gives us a lot, then through playing, you gain confidence and things get better and better.”
