The legendary Italian coach Fabio Capello spoke about the Ukrainian striker of Roman Roma Artem Dovbyk. His words are quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Each coach interprets pressing in his own way. Gasperini applies this approach all over the pitch, his tactic of individual care is a recognizable and recognized model that allowed him to succeed at Atalanta. Now Gian Piero is adapting this style of play at Roma.

At the moment, Roma strictly follows the instructions of the head coach and does everything possible on the field to fully comply with Gasperini’s playing principles. I believe that over time, the Romans will improve the efficiency of their offensive actions, the team will score even more, even if Dovbyk and Ferguson do not look like top-level forwards.

I believe that the Giallorossi should fight for a ticket to the Champions League. The current season will be long and busy, given the need to play in the Europa League. Although still in Atalanta, Gasperini showed his ability to competently distribute forces in several directions. Gian Piero will do the same in Rome,” Capello said.

It was previously reported that Gasperini regrets Dovbyk’s departure to the Ukrainian national team.
