Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the media in the aftermath of the Giallorossi\u2019s victory in Scotland over Celtic Glasgow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe needed it. It\u2019s never easy to win away on these European nights in these beautiful, historic stadiums, packed with fans, full of people,\u201d said the Italian coach. \u201cWe played an excellent match.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe changes to the line-up? I changed 5 players to start the match because it was a time of the season when we also needed to make important assessments and do so in games that matter. This is a game that mattered, because as I said before, playing in these stadiums is never easy, with these teams coming off a string of very positive results.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd having some performances from Pisilli, for example, gives them confidence and certainly broadens the squad a bit in terms of depth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFerguson? The result is important, but the performance is also important. I want him to play with this intensity and this spirit, with this unwavering pace. I want him to play and show his qualities on the pitch every time he goes out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I said before, you have to be patient. These are young players who, suddenly, might turn around and show consistency and growth in their performances. It would be much better if that were the case, but it\u2019s clear that we\u2019ll talk about it later in the January transfer window. We still have several important games to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPisilli has improved, he\u2019s done well, and I\u2019m very happy with him. With Ndicka and El Aynaoui leaving us for AFCON we have some resources in the team that we\u2019ll try to fill as best we can, even though they\u2019re two important players.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the media in the aftermath of the Giallorossi\u2019s victory in Scotland…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-343597","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
