Roma-Genoa, Gasperini: Dybala is out of this world, match matters | OneFootball

On the eve of the match against Genoa, Gian Piero Gasperini took stock of the situation at Roma, discussing absences, managing the star players, and a transfer market that risks distracting from what happens on the pitch.

Roma-Genoa, Gasperini: “Dybala is untouchable, now only the match matters”

The Giallorossi coach started with those unavailable: “Dovbyk will not be called up; we hope to have him back next week. He’s not ready to play yet. We’ve worked well despite a week interrupted by Christmas and some flu.” The situation with Hermoso is more delicate: “He has a form of pubalgia and we’ll have to assess up to the last minute whether he can play.”

There was also plenty of discussion about the comparison between Dybala and Ferguson: “Paulo is a top-level player and I want to get him into the best possible condition. If I have to choose, I’ll always pick Dybala,” Gasperini reiterated. “Ferguson is younger and needs to show more hunger and desire to succeed. Technically, Dybala is untouchable.”

Regarding Pisilli, the coach was clear: “He’s an interesting youngster, but ahead of him are players who are performing very well. Maybe he needs more playing time, but right now it’s not possible for him to leave.”

He wrapped up with a comment on the transfer market: “It affects everyone and it’s disrespectful to those who are giving their all. There’s more talk about the market than about the matches, and this situation has gone on for too long.” But now, focus shifts to the pitch: “Tomorrow against Genoa it will be a tough match.”
