Gasperini: I don’t want to deprive the fans of their dream of winning the championship. The fans of Roma who are leading the standings are very satisfied.

In the 11th round of Serie A, Roma defeated Udinese 2-0 at home. After the game, Roma coach Gasperini analyzed the game and talked about the topic of the championship in an interview with DAZN.

Should fans believe the team can win the Serie A title?

"We should not deprive people of their dreams, now is the moment for them to feel happy. We are leading the standings, which is a reason for pride for us and a huge satisfaction for the fans. We feel this and we are happy for it. As for the probability of winning the championship, we will see later."

Today I saw a team A Roma team full of hunger and high-intensity pressing

"Yes, they performed very well because this game was not easy. Udinese is a team with strong physical confrontation and excellent strength. We faced this game with great determination and fighting spirit, maintaining a high-intensity rhythm of the game. The game was a little difficult at the beginning because they used more aerial ball battles But then we gradually took control of the game and performed well, but I was particularly happy with this game because I realized the difficulty of it."

Lorenzo Pellegrini's progress

"For me, he is a very mature and technical player. Heart, because he deserves it. It's not for nothing, but because he can really help us a lot, as he is doing. It is important to get him back to his best, emotionally and physically. We are all happy for him because he deserves it and we benefit from it."

Is Pellegrini the new penalty taker?

"For me, taking a penalty kick is a rare thing (laughs). But he is really a good penalty taker, the penalty kick is very good. Not just the penalty kick, the free kick is also good. But I can also say that Dybala played very well. I remember him before against Milan There is a high success rate. In short, from this aspect, we should do well, although it was not the case at the beginning of the season: it broke the deadlock and then the team performed at such a high level."

How about Dov Bik?

"We will evaluate his situation tomorrow and it doesn't seem to be a big issue for him. These minor injuries may take two to three weeks to recover, and during that time, due to the intensive schedule, missing five or six games may become heavy. Especially if these injuries occur. Born in the same position. But we compensated for that very well and all of us did a good job. Now the team has some better conditions to run the offense more effectively. Obviously, we want to recover as much as possible in the offseason."

How does it feel to enter the offseason as a leader?

"It feels great to go into the offseason as the leader, and I actually wish I could have had a longer break. Seeing the joy of the fans, whether it's at the end of the game or during the game, when we have the upper hand and the result seems certain, that joy and enthusiasm is contagious. We feel that and we are happy for it."
