Gian Piero Gasperini doesn't resent the referee and berates his own

Gian Piero Gasperini does not take it out on the referee for what happened against Napoli and in particular for the possible foul that gave way to the’action that led to Neres&#8217 decisive goal: “These episodes can be seen in so many ways, I struggle to be so clear-cut, the player lifts his foot and goes to trip Koné. It is not so clear, you see a lot of them but it could have been whistled. Slip entry like that is always whistled, but it’s not so sharp. Beyond that, we were wide open and that’s where the counterattack started. We put our own spin on it. Definitely it was our mistake, too bad”.

“I don’t think we lacked the engine. We have played a lot of games and taken few goals – added the Roma coach to Sky Sport – It is clear that we must always maintain coverages because in that situation we were not good in that”.

“I must say that Napoli also shot very little. At the level of production, pretty stuck game. We didn’t have the right energy, maybe the game on Thursday we paid for it a little bit more. We didn’t have the usual speed and when the ball turns slowly it becomes more difficult. Unfortunately, we came to this game a bit haggard. And we were unable, beyond the result, to play like we have in recent outings”.

However, the problem of direct clashes remains: “They were different games, tonight we played underwhelming compared to the other two, however, the pace of the two teams was slower and the game was less beautiful. We didn&#8217t have the right nervous energy, sorry but it&#8217s not an elimination game. The championship is very long, we have to look ahead”.
