The head coach of "Roma," Gian Piero Gasperini, commented on his team’s victory in the first round match of the Italian championship against "Bologna."
Gian Piero Gasperini, Getty Images— I want to applaud my players. We started the match with the right mindset. We faced a strong team that performed wonderfully in this match. This gives us great motivation.
Newcomers? We are talking about very young players with enormous potential. This evening they demonstrated their value and cohesion. I saw this in the preseason, especially abroad, where it is not easy to play in crowded stadiums.
This evening against a strong "Bologna," we showcased many excellent things. It is very nice that the fans appreciated it. We played bravely; it’s not easy. "Bologna" has dangerous attackers and a quality bench. I am satisfied; this is the first match, and it is not easy for anyone, even experienced teams," said Gian Piero Gasperini.
