Roma won the fourth victory in five matches of Series A, beating Verona with a score of 2: 0. After the game, the head coach of the Romans Jan Piero Gasparini shared his impressions of the duel and noted separately Artem Dovbik’s goal.

According to the mentor, the team felt the consequences of a dense graph:
“We spent three matches a week, and honestly, some players were difficult to recover completely. This is the first time in the season, and we need to consider this in the future.”

Gasperini also emphasized the importance of team discipline and stability in protection, in particular thanks to the work of the goalkeeper Roma:
“Svillar gives confidence even when he does not perform many saves. He is calm in the ball game, and that has a great impact on the entire protection line. We have a big goalkeeper.”

Separately, the trainer mentioned the Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik, who scored the goal in this match:
“We should not evaluate the player only by the number of balls. Dovbik, like Pellegrini, Ermoso, has played an important role today. Such players are needed, especially at times when there is a lot of warehouse.”

At the same time, Gasperini unexpectedly mentioned Zholkovsky’s debutant and hinted at the importance of depth of the composition:
“There are young players who are gradually tightening. We want them to adapt and help the team during the season.”

We will remind, 28-year-old Artem Dovbik spent five matches in the series and this season and scored his first ball for the rum. After five rounds, the Roman Club goes second in the standings with 12 points.
