Roma dreaming big this season

A happy and satisfied Gian Piero Gasperini at the end of August is either breaking news or the exception that proves the rule. The Roma coach made no secret of his satisfaction with the signings that have arrived, but in order not to completely dismantle the image he has built over decades, he had to point out that two more reinforcements are still needed — and then everything will be in place.

We are still missing one more striker, but the winning mentality is already there”. Roma have lost just once in their last 20 matches at the Via del Mare, and that defeat came 14 and a half years ago.
