Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini shared his thoughts on the outcome of the fifth round Serie A match against Lazio. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The capital derby ended 1-0 in favor of his team. Midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini played for the first time this season, provided an assist, and secured 3 points for Roma.
Gasperini said: "I see the players in training, I know how Pellegrini is performing. That is why I did not hesitate to start him in today's match.
The derby was very exciting, and in the end, there was so much noise that it was difficult for me to hear." Additionally, the coach expressed regret that the opponent's sending off did not benefit his team. He stated: "I am pleased with our game, especially until Lazio was reduced to ten men.
After that, there was a risk of losing the match. The fans attach great importance to this game, so we are happy to have given them the joy of victory." Following this match, Roma is in fourth place in the league table with 9 points.
Lazio is in tenth place with 3 points.
