Gasperini says Roma 'will try' to stop Modric and Milan after 'excellent start'
"Paulo's problems have always been injuries, but he has all the qualities, both in terms of shooting and physical condition. He's a player who has achieved important goals. His consistency is dictated by the fact that he's training well; in the past, perhaps he needed more rest at times. Now, he's also mentally confident, he knows he can reach certain levels. We are bringing out the best in him. I hope it will be an important season for him."
"I'm not involved in these discussions. I'm focusing on Roma and how we stack up to Milan. Both teams have had an excellent start, so you guys can take care of the rest. I agree that Inter and Napoli are the favourites, but otherwise, our goal is to compete with the big teams. Milan have value, with important players who arrived in the summer: it's an opportunity."
Roma have started the season strongly with 21 points and aim to remain at the top alongside Napoli. A defeat against Milan would allow Milan to leapfrog Roma in the standings, making the San Siro match crucial. Milan present a familiar tactical challenge given their historical strength, and Roma still have areas to improve ahead of the clash. Paulo Dybala's past injuries affected his consistency, but improved training, physical condition and growing mental confidence are bringing out his best form. Roma prioritise preparing to compete with big teams rather than engaging in Scudetto debate; Inter and Napoli are viewed as favourites. Milan's summer signings add value and opportunity, and Luka Modric received praise.
