1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 15th Roma defender Gianluca Mancini talked about topics such as Gasperini, Ranieri, and Spaletti in an interview.
Roma has invited new coach Gasperini, and you have coached him when you played in Atlanta in the past
Gasperini is a great coach who has proved his worth and has achieved some unique achievements in Atlanta. We are all glad he is now the head coach of Rome and he taught me a lot and it will be a huge challenge. We know his football style is a high-intensity and aggressive game, and the pre-season training camp this summer will be tough. I was curious and happy to be able to work with him.
The old coach Ranieri no longer serves as the head coach of Rome, but he is still a consultant to the club.
Since Ranieri comes here, he has done something unique. It was a relief to know that he continued to stay in the club.
What is Roma’s goal next season?
The only goal is to make Roma better and return to the Champions League.
Although the Italian national team’s defense was constantly injured, you were still out of the previous national team roster. Do you have any conflicts with Spaletti?
There is no personal problem between me and the coach. I think it’s just a technical choice for coaches and we have to accept the coach’s decision. I have always been grateful to coach Spaletti for taking me to last year’s Euro and also for letting me play against Switzerland, but unfortunately it was a bad game.
It will be more difficult for the Italian national team to advance to the World Cup next year
If I get the national team’s call, I will run to report. If I am not called, I will also be the number one fan of the national team. The national team is unique to everyone, not just players playing for the national team. I feel sorry for my national teammates, but when I was selected, I could see that the national team was very united. We hope that a bad game before (0-3 loss to Norway) won’t make it harder and more complicated for us to qualify for the World Cup.
