Roma, Gasperini on Viktoria Plzen: “Bailey and Ziolkowski talk” | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the microphones of Roma's official channels on the eve of the Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen. Here are his statements.

Roma, Gasperini: "Dovbyk-Ferguson, it depends on the condition! The important thing is that Dybala is well"

The former Atalanta coach answered various questions ahead of the third Europa League match for the Giallorossi, following their defeat to Lille.

Here is how he expressed himself regarding the choice between Dovbyk and Ferguson: "In all great teams, there isn't a true starter. Since the advent of post-COVID football, it's normal for it to be this way: there are many games and five substitutions. The opportunity is there for everyone."

On Angelino's condition: "There is a medical statement on Angelino, you have to rely on what they say. At the moment, I'm crossing my fingers that everyone is available."

Regarding Bailey starting from the first minute: "A starter is whoever takes the field. We'll see tomorrow, it's difficult for him to play from the start. But the important thing is that he has recovered physically. It takes time".

On the young Ziolkowski: "No, he didn't surprise me. I see him in training, he's a strong and young player. The boy is interesting, he will have a great path. Maybe he just needs to work on his sliding tackles: he does too many, in Italy it's too risky."

On the match with Inter: "Probably we weren't clear enough defensively and conceded a goal. But I believe Roma has taken a step forward, I'm happy. There were some good indications, tomorrow there's another opportunity to make progress. Tomorrow's team is not well known, but Italian football struggles when facing these matches. On the other side, there are people who travel, who play, you always have to be careful."
