Gasperini ahead of Atalanta: āI didnāt expect Ranieriās comments.ā
Tomorrow evening, Roma will face Atalanta at the Olimpico to continue their pursuit of fourth place.
These have been difficult days in the capital, where the only topic of conversation has been the frostiness between Ranieri and Gasperini that erupted after the senior advisorās comments before Roma-Pisa.
Today, the coach spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match against Atalanta. Gasperini begins: āIāll tell you in advance, because I know youāll ask me. There was an interview with Ranieri last Friday that created some confusion; it was an incredible surprise for me.ā
āThereās never been a different tone between Ranieri and I, both in the press conferences we held and in our relationship. I wasnāt expecting it. And in all these months, Iād never heard such a tone. From that moment on, Iāve been concerned about not responding and trying not to cause any kind of harm or difficulty for the team or the Roma fans.ā
āTomorrow is important; we still have a chance for Europe. Thatās the important thing. And so Iād really like us to talk about this, especially because I havenāt spoken all week, it hasnāt come from everyone, I wanted to try to prevent all of this, but it was impossible on my part. And so from today, Iād really like us to talk about football.ā
He continued: āIāve suffered this media impact, despite myself. But for me and the team, there will be no excuse. Weāre on Matchday 33, itās a final rush, and itās extremely important for both teams, especially for us. Iāve shifted my focus solely to the technical aspect. I repeat: for me, the important thing was not to cause any harm to the team.ā
Injury situation: āWesley currently feels he can play, but the medical team considers there to be risks. This also triggers issues and discussions. Weāll see what happens tomorrow, but if the doctor says no, I can only abide by it. Everyone depends on a medical OK. Nothing has changed in the lineup since last week, except for Pellegriniās injury. Pisilli seems to have recovered from an ankle problem.ā
Gasperini stated that Ranieri's comments were an incredible surprise for him and created confusion.
The Atalanta vs. Roma match is scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Olimpico.
The match is significant as Roma is pursuing fourth place in the league standings.
The tension arose after Ranieri's comments before the Roma-Pisa match, which Gasperini found surprising.

Do you feel closer or further away from Roma than before? āYou keep talking about other things, Iāll talk about the match. I donāt want to cause any problems that day; youāre creating problems with these questions. So ask me a question about the team or tomorrowās match. Iām done with the other thing. If youād like, letās talk about football.ā And Iāve answered you. āNo, Iāve answered you. If you want to ask me a football question about tomorrowās match, Iāll answer. If you want to continue with these situations, Iām done.ā
āWhat is Roma missing for the Champions League?ā āThe club and Ranieri have always been very clear. I thought that with very little effort we could reach our objective right away, and the facts prove it; weāre still there, despite all the defections. In the first half of the season, we didnāt have that many problems; we were able to compensate. From January onwards, there were many, but Iāve always thought that with a few more ideas we would have had even more opportunities. But these are normal discussions; with Ranieri, they were never aggressive. If we can beat a very strong team like Atalanta, weāll see what happens. Theyāre a tough obstacle. If we beat them, weāre entitled to play in the Champions League, and then we have other teams ahead of us, but this is the parameter Iāve always set for myself. Iāve always pushed to improve based on my football ideas, Iāve always pushed for certain players. Without any ulterior motives, my intention has been to improve. I donāt have to wait for anything; for me, thatās the goal. I believe that if you manage to do well in Rome, youāll get immense satisfaction.ā
Difference with Bergamo: āRoma has everything, especially in the team and the external environment. In Bergamo I did well because the surrounding environment was compact; the clubās work was extraordinary. The city, having a single fan base, is compact. This created an ideal climate and the ability to build a strong team over time, not only with young players who were valued, used and sold, making the club very rich: think of Lookman, Ruggeri⦠There we built a team with Gomez, Zapata, Toloi, Ilicic, Kolasinac. A very strong core, which lasted for years, replaced by Ederson, Koopmeiners and integrated with Scamacca, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Djimsitiā¦ā
āThe team overall was strong and could change with the income from a club that is extraordinary in its sales. Think of Romero and Hojlund, generating profits every year. That was an extraordinary thing, not only thanks to me, but also to the club. Then it changed a bit, partly because the ownership changed, partly because it didnāt there was more of my dad to whom I was very close.ā
