Europa League, Gasperini: ‘League or cup? Both are priorities’

Milan, 11 March. (LaPresse) – ‘Both are priorities, we have never thought of giving up on anything and we are playing to the best of our ability for all our objectives. We cannot make choices, we are trying to get through all the rounds in Europe and do our best in the league. If we don’t succeed, it’s not by choice.’ Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini said this at a press conference on the eve of the Europa League match against Bologna. Looking at the team’s improvement, Gasperini pointed out that in attack ‘the trend is positive, thanks above all to the arrival of Malen, who has made us more dangerous.’ The same goes for Zaragoza, “who made an excellent assist against Napoli, but didn’t play in Genoa. Those who arrive in January always need a little time to settle in. Pellegrini is definitely the one who is playing with the most consistency.‘ On the subject of the former captain’s contract renewal, he said: ’This is not the time to discuss this issue. Right now, the focus is on the matches. Then there may be some matches where you do well and others where you don’t do so well, but that applies to everyone.”
