Gasperini urges Roma to reset before Torino clash at Olimpico
Gian Piero Gasperini presented Roma’s away fixture against Torino, urging his squad to hit the reset button after a congested schedule and lauding the form of Malen and Mora. The match is set for tomorrow at 18.30 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, with 30 expected to attend.
The press briefing was hosted by Ignazio Abate at the Centro Sportivo Fulvio Bernardini in Trigoria. Gasperini used the occasion to outline his expectations for the upcoming challenge.
Malen and Mora praised as key figures
Gasperini highlighted Malen’s extraordinary numbers from the previous season’s encounter with Torino, saying, “It is difficult to imagine such extraordinary figures; he has done something special with consistency.” He added that Mora is a “young talent of great level” who could become the most prominent youngster in football today. The comments were reported by.
Rotation and squad fitness ahead of Torino
With the third match in seven days, Gasperini stressed the need for a solid group that is never undermined, rotating players based on fitness and resting those who look tired. He dismissed any hierarchy, insisting all players – from Ghilardi and Koulierakis to Balerdi – are equally important. He also spoke about De Roon’s recovery, Dybala’s condition, and confirmed that Pellegrini will travel, Lulli’s fever is improving, and Koulierakis feels good. Molina, who arrived fifteen days ago, is still catching up, while Wesley is recovering from a knee knock but is in good condition.
Gasperini concluded that tomorrow’s encounter will require the entire group to give their maximum. “We must be at our best and forget the previous game,” he said, underlining the stakes of the Torino clash. La Roma will aim to reset and deliver a strong performance.
