Tomorrow Roma will face Real Madrid in the Champions League, and coach GianPiero Gasperini has confirmed that the club does not have any new signings on its agenda for January. In a press conference dedicated to tomorrow's match, Gasperini responded to a question that had been posed to him: "Will Endrick ask Mourinho tomorrow?" With a smile, he clarified that the answer is “no.” For him, the January transfer window is not a priority at the moment; the attention is paid to the series of matches in progress and to the great event which will be the match against Real Madrid, an opportunity that has been "missing for a long time" and which will bring "pleasure" to the city and the square.
The Roman coach also reiterated the importance of focusing on the present. “Now the January transfer window is something that is of no interest,” he declared, underlining that Roma have just started a series of matches and that the Champions League represents a fundamental opportunity to demonstrate the team's value. Gasperini expressed confidence in the strength of the group, recalling that Real Madrid has players of the highest level and that the team must maintain compactness to best face them.
During the same conference, Gasperini also referred to other current issues. He commented on Dybala's role, calling him "extraordinary even with 10", and spoke about goalkeeper Gollini, recalling that although he has been controversial in the past, he is a good player. Furthermore, he expressed his opinion that Real Madrid has a very strong team, which could affect Roma's ability to maintain their defensive structure.
The coach closed his interview with a thought on the future of the team. “Tomorrow we will do our best,” he declared, highlighting that Roma intend to make the most of the opportunity to play against an opponent of such calibre. Despite questions about the January transfer window, Gasperini made it clear that the priority is performance on the pitch and preparation for the Champions League. With tomorrow's match just around the corner, Roma and its fans are ready to experience an event of great importance for the team and the city.
