The wait is over; in two days, Roma will take to the field at the Olimpico. The Giallorossi's first opponent of the season will be Fiorentina, who have undergone a revamped squad.
On the eve of the match against the Lilies, Gian Piero Gasperini held his first press conference of the season. In addition to the match presentation, the coach also addressed the transfer market.
The coach began by listing the players: "Numerically, something is missing. We don't have the capacity to have 23 players on the squad, especially for the Champions League. We have two free slots. Four players have arrived; Molina is an important player coming off the World Cup final and has come in to replace Celik. Dovbyk left and was replaced by Castro. Koulierakis is an addition; we needed a backup for Hermoso. Finally, Rodrigo Mora arrived, but El Shaarawy, Venturino, and others have left."
"Players with a great desire to join Roma have arrived; Castro took the train just to come. Salaries have been lowered to meet our needs. We have 10 days left, and we hope to complete everything."
Roma, like Fiorentina, have chosen to focus on young players. The coach expressed his thoughts on this matter: "Often, focusing on young players is a necessary path, but it can have its advantages. As for Mora, he has a lot of experience despite his young age. He was an investment by the owners with a view to the future, but I can't give him too much responsibility, being a 2007 player; he needs to follow certain steps. He has all the characteristics to emerge."
