Roma dreams of hooking up with Napoli in third place in Serie A, twice thwarted at the Maradona Stadium by the Giallorossi&#8217s double comeback after goals from an increasingly decisive Donyell Malen. And in the aftermath of the match Gian Piero Gasperini extols precisely the Dutch striker, who has changed the offensive fortunes of his team from January onward. Indeed: according to the coach from Grugliasco, his presence in the squad since the beginning of the season could have given a different path throughout the league, with goals that could have been recalibrated.

"Scandal" for Caterina Balivo: there's an uncle’s in the middle… interista
The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you must rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

“I have always been overwhelmingly convinced of Malen’s abilities – Gasperini stressed to ‘DAZN’ -. His characteristics are the best possible for a striker, because he is fast, quick, able to finish well and exchange in the best possible way with his teammates. He is scoring with great frequency and is always able to make himself dangerous. Roma, with him in the team, can do better and better. Especially if we manage to recover Dybala and there should not be too serious problems for Wesley”.

According to Gasperini, Roma is scoring more but not necessarily experiencing a behavioral or psychological turnaround. “We have always had this attitude, even in the first round of the league ’is the Giallorossi coach’s opinion -. We have never had an attitude problem, we have lost a few games because of our performance. And certainly if we had Malen, we would have a few more points now. Even the games against Milan and Napoli leave us a little bit of regret for the final results”.

In the post-match press conference, Gasperini also addressed other problems that are plaguing his Roma side. “In addition to Dybala being absent, we also had SoulĂ© in not very good condition – he recalled -. Then there’is Zaragoza, who played as a starter and could have been decisive by entering the game in progress. The fact is that he still needs some more time to get into our mechanisms”.

Finally, the new injury, that of Wesley. “He has a very swollen ankle, tomorrow we will see how he is. We hope to get someone back to be even more competitive, but for now we are just trying to look forward. This Roma is a team in great growth” Gasperini concluded. That, in any case, ends the week with the Giallorossi back in the Champions League zone.
