Headline: Roma’s Gian Piero Gasperini Reflects on Victory Over Cagliari and Player Performance
In the wake of Roma’s 4-2 victory against Cagliari, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini addressed various topics concerning the team’s performance and individual players.
Gasperini highlighted the contributions of goalkeeper Gollini, stating, “He was a goalkeeper who even played in the Champions League and achieved important goals. At the time, he was younger and more exuberant, less motivated to work and improve. We met again in Rome, and I never had any doubts about his qualities. He trains very well, and I’m happy with what he’s done in recent matches. He’s extraordinary up close, but he concedes goals from distance, but he’s an excellent goalkeeper.”

The coach also praised young talents Lulli and Pisilli, remarking, “They’re extraordinary guys. I have to say that there’s always something great going on in the youth academy. There are some guys who are very attached to Roma, and this leads them to dream of making their first-team debuts, and that’s a very positive thing. They’re absolutely talented guys. Lulli scored with a header, and we were training yesterday.”
Gasperini expressed enthusiasm over Mora’s recent performance, recalling, “I saw him score a header against Porto: he’s small but he jumps really well. Look at the way he hit the ball: he’s almost standing still and he whips it in and scores a great goal.”
Finally, he addressed the fitness of players Dybala and Koné, stating, “Paulo hasn’t recovered yet, he’s not healed yet. I don’t think he’ll be fit for Udine, but let’s hope he’s fit for Sassuolo like Koné.”
