Roma CEO Umberto Gandini spoke to Radio 1 today and touched upon a variety of topics. Here are his words:
“Di Francesco’s best quality? I can not make comparisons, everyone has their own characteristics. Eusebio is a guy with personality, he knows how to hold a dialogue with the team, he works hard on the physical part of football. Our way of playing can be taxing and the team must be at a high level from a physical view. He has his personality and character, he joins that with the great desire to win.”
“We play to do our best after we finished four points off Juve last season: it’s worth playing to win the Scudetto. The road is long, there have been only 6 matches played, but the goal is always to do that, to do our best as possible in all competitions, we can not hide. Let’s play to get in front of the others.”
“Qarabag-Roma? A very important match, as was the one against Atletico, which we wished we could have won, even though it is not always possible. Qarabag is a peculiar team, they have experience in the Europa League, see the draw against Inter. Surely we do not underestimate the opponent. On the other side, there is Chelsea-Atletico, which means so much in this early part of the group, so it will be very important to win.”
