Gasperini: "Dybala can play in any position, he should not limit himself to his comfort zone"

The head coach of "Roma," Gian Piero Gasperini, explained why he demands versatility from his attacking players. In the match of the second round of the Italian championship, the Romans secured a narrow victory over "Pisa" (1:0).

“Overall, the game was very good. At the beginning, we had difficulties as "Pisa" was well organized and very physically prepared, they are always dangerous on high balls. We gradually got into the game, and then played very well in the second half.

Dybala played very well on the left after coming on as a substitute. Sule performed very well on the right, and I did not want to move him from there. Paulo can play anywhere, on the left, as a number 10, or as a central striker. Of course, he cannot drift into the center and shoot with his left foot, but I do not think a player should be limited to his comfort zone; he can move into any attacking zone. I want the same from Sule; they should not work only with their favorite foot, they need this variety,” Gasperini is quoted by Sky Sport Italia.
