Turin, 10 October (LaPresse) – “Roma not Champions League material? They’re not. That increases the merit, doesn’t it? The merit of these lads. And in the meantime, it’s clear that we hope to improve; we know that our lead is rather fortuitous. We played the games, though; no one gave them to us. Now the direct clashes are beginning, we are measuring ourselves against the most important teams, but it is true that this team can improve, it has considerable margins.‘ So said Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini in an interview with Corriere dello Sport. ’What convinced me to choose Roma? The fact that there is incredible passion in Rome. I believe that right now, in Italy, Rome is, along with Naples, the most passionate and exciting place. And perhaps Rome even more so than Naples, because Naples has won. Where there is more hunger for football, more desire to achieve results, where there is such a deep, visceral love for one’s team, the motivation is very high.”
