Roma doesn't shine in last friendly. And Gasperini thunders about the market
Roma did not go beyond a 2-2 draw in the last friendly against Neom SC, the Saudi team led by Galtier. With one week to go before the start of the league, the Giallorossi at the Stirpe stadium in Frosinone still looked packed after preparation and failed to perform at their best.
All the goals were signed in the first half: for the Giallorossi to score Cristante and Soulé, for the Saudis Benrahma and Abdi. Capitolini coach Gian Piero Gasperini spoke after the match about the market: “This is a team that has qualities and we must try to improve it. With the club there’s sharing on things to be done, now let’s see what will happen in these fortnight. I do not like to stand still on the market, but at the same time you all know the issue of Financial Fair Play”.
On market targets: “Sancho and Bailey? About players from other teams I do not speak and about Koné I can only say that he is a very strong player and it would certainly be a loss for us to give him up. Between me and the ownership the relationship is direct, I know the needs of the club and they know mine”.
