Gasperini: I have never encountered a penalty kick and lost 3 times, this is a very accidental situation

October 3: After Roma lost 0-1 to Lille, Roma coach Gasperini was interviewed by Yitian.

What do you think of Rome's performance? What do you like and what do you feel is missing?

"First of all, I have never encountered a situation where I missed three penalty kicks. We were behind very early, which gave the opponent the most favorable situation. I think Roma, although he made some mistakes on the technical level, played hard and rhythmically throughout the game, and was always trying to achieve results. Maybe we failed to seize the opportunity, but this kind of game can allow us to grow and improve from it."

What is the reason for missing three consecutive penalty kicks?

"This is almost a unique and accidental situation. But things did happen and undoubtedly affected the results of the game. Judging from the fighting spirit, the team paid a lot. When you lose, everything looks bad, but in my opinion, we still gain something."

What did you learn from this game?

"The opponents are good at counterattacking, and this game is not easy. We have been attacking in the second half. They are fast and skilled, and it is not easy to oppress them, but we showed fighting spirit and strength. Of course, we made some mistakes in technology, which must be reduced in this aspect. But I also have to see the positive side of the team, including the performance of some players. This stage of the event will play 8 games in total, without the suspense and tension of the knockout round, but our team has remained focused until the last moment."

Are you worried that the players will be affected emotionally?

"We are athletes, and it is possible to make mistakes. We can't be discouraged because of this. Fortunately, there is a game every 3 days, and we have to play again on Sunday. Sports people should understand, be happy when you win, and then let go; the same is true for losing, you can't worry about it."

Will anyone come back? For example, Dybala?

"Let's take a look tomorrow. Maybe Masala knows more, but I don't think it's possible."
