Roma’s head coach Gian Piero Gasperini at a press conference dedicated to today’s 8th round match of the Italian championship against Sassuolo answered the question of how he feels about the crowd’s booing directed at the Ukrainian forward of his team Artem Dovbyk.
«Booing Dovbik? It’s appropriate and beneficial. Moreover, it’s beneficial not only for him but for the entire team. Such a reaction from the stands induces a sporting anger, the players respond to this and strive to turn boos into applause.
As long as a person is a Roma player, he needs to be supported, but I’m not talking about the fans right now — any of their emotions are quite justified,» said Gasperini.
