Europa League, Gasperini: ‘I’m already returning to my comfort zone’

Rome, 22 October (LaPresse) – “Return to my comfort zone? I’m already returning. I’ve always said that the principles remain the same, you just have to respect the characteristics of the players. I don’t see any major differences in my way of coaching, working and interpreting matches. I am very satisfied with games like the one the other night, because sometimes certain defeats are more useful than some victories that leave nothing behind.‘ These are the words of Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma coach, ahead of the match at the Stadio Olimpico against Viktoria Plzen, valid for the third round of the Europa League group stage. ’We know that we need to be more concrete and more precise, otherwise the outcome of the performance would have been different. The same match, played in the same way and with the same situations created, with a little more precision could have led to a draw or even another result, given the numbers. However, it would not have changed the overall picture: I try to work beyond the result, focusing on the growth of the team and the individual players,” he added.
