The Giallorossi coach on Tg1: “The team and the players, with their attitude and behavior, believe in it every game. We’re only at the beginning of the journey. When you have a beautiful dream, that’s already something good”

He believes it, even if he says it quietly. Roma’s first-place standing after eleven matchdays fuels the Scudetto dream even in the mind of Gian Piero Gasperini, the mastermind behind the Giallorossi’s explosive start. “The Scudetto? Everyone is free to dream; it’s perfectly possible. Let’s hope the reality check turns out well, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy this moment,” the coach said in an interview with TG1. He says this with the smile of someone satisfied with how the team has embraced his ideas and perhaps with the hope that something will come through in the January transfer window (“As always, it applies a bit to all teams—we’ll decide when the time comes”).

The important thing, however, is that not only the fans but also the team believes in it. “That’s for sure—the team, the players, with their attitude and behavior, believe in it every game,” added Gasperini. “We’re only at the beginning of the journey. When you have a beautiful dream, that’s already something good.” Meanwhile, Gasp has won over a fanbase that certainly didn’t love him back in his Atalanta days. “Over time, we win each other over; above all, we get to know one another and appreciate each other more and more,” added Gasperini. “It’s not something you can achieve just by kissing the jersey or going under the stands. I think we’re doing it. Roman food? Well, I have to be a bit careful with that. One thing I really like is when, in the morning, on my way to Trigoria, I pass through the city center and see the Colosseum.“ Finally, a comment on the new stadium in Pietralata. ”It would certainly be a great gift for the fans from the club and the owners: I’ve seen the plans, and they’re wonderful. This is a club that wants to invest; it wants to build the new stadium.”
