Before the Napoli-Roma match, sporting director Frederic Massara was interviewed.
Speaking to Dazn, the Giallorossi manager presented the match and the importance of what’s at stake.
“We’ve lacked head-to-head wins, but not performances. Unfortunately, the points haven’t arrived. We hope to continue with our performances and that the points arrive. Clearly, tonight is important.”
How much does Dybala’s absence impact the renewal options? “Any team would miss Dybala. It’s a shame this new small problem arose because we would have needed him in this match. The issue doesn’t affect the renewal; we’ll discuss it later.”
“Gasperini? The relationship is excellent, with constant exchanges. We have 10 new players, and that shows the extent of the work we’re doing. The coach is doing an excellent job shaping the team, and we’re satisfied.”
“Pisilli? Pisilli is very strong. He’s taking on a superior dimension. He’s very tactically intelligent in both phases. I think he can be important for both Roma and the national team.”
