Gasperini: When Roma has the advantage, there is a high probability of scoring a goal. Cristante can play as an attacking midfielder.

In the 9th round of Serie A on October 30, Roma defeated Parma 2-1 at home. Hermoso and Dov Bik contributed to the home team in the second half. After the game, Roma coach Gasperini attended the press conference and commented on the game.

On choosing Pele to replace Ferguson over Dov Bik

"I originally wanted Pele, Dybala and Sule to play together to take advantage of their skills and speed. But I felt that Pele had not recovered from the game against Sassuolo and he seemed not active and fast enough. So in the second half I brought on Ainawy and asked Cristante to support behind the striker."

"I didn't Putting Dov Bik on the field? Because we always keep three attacking players on the court, whether it is Dybala, Dov Bik or Ferguson, we finally adjust to a wider formation, and our tactical system is always based on this and rarely adopts other systems."

Did you expect this Roma performance?

"We performed well today, and maybe struggled a bit in the first half hour. But as the game progressed, we became more tenacious and no longer easily lost position. At the end of the first half, it was difficult for Parma to find opportunities. It is obvious that we need to score goals. When we have the advantage on the field, scoring goals is a high probability event."

How to judge Roma's progress?

"It can be seen from the cooperation in the game. The space is opened after the goal, and we need to learn to play in a small space and interrupt the opponent's rhythm. The team is growing, whether in terms of lineup adjustment or personnel replacement. This is a beautiful moment."

Is the quality of long-range shots insufficient?

"You really need to strengthen training, even players who are good at shooting need to practice constantly. Everyone has his own characteristics and technical level. I can practice backhand hitting 24 hours a day, but I will never be Sinner."

Christante plays as an attacking midfielder

"He likes this position very much and is very happy. He can play any position, but it feels good to return to the role he played seven or eight years ago. That's just me. Sometimes I need to change my routine, which helps to stimulate more potential."
