Rome, 4 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The Scudetto? You should never stifle your dreams. The important thing is to realise that, when the alarm goes off, reality is something else entirely. Then, if you face reality in the right way, you can even make it align with your dreams. But this isn’t the sort of talk you have at the start of September.” So said Gian Piero Gasperini during an interview with *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, on the eve of the league match against Atalanta. In the city, he says, “there’s always been passion; now I see enthusiasm, but a mature, informed kind. More than people outside Rome realise. You can’t easily pull the wool over the eyes of Roma fans. They’ve had great champions, great teams. They know football. Today they’re satisfied supporters. That’s my greatest reward: seeing them satisfied.” The Giallorossi manager is full of praise for Malen: “If he challenges Higuain’s record of 36 goals, it won’t surprise me.”
Football, Gasperini: ‘The Scudetto? It’s right to dream, but it’s only early September’
