Head coach Romi Gian Piero Gasperini commented on his team’s victory in the European League match against Celtic (3:0).

“It’s never easy getting around these beautiful, historic fields. It wasn’t easy to make money here. Celtic won the series on home ground. Europe has played matches against other teams, including Italy. This allows you to encounter even stronger attackers. In European cups, football is completely different.

Pisilli, Ferguson and Resta Gravtsev, who made changes to the warehouse, showed good work. It gives the opportunity to expand the warehouse. Now we have to make important judgments before we can make money in games that have major consequences.

Under the hour, Ferguson was afraid to do what he had to do in training. He is a young boy and we must exercise patience. Yogo another goal but miracles. He has shown a beautiful game, and it is important that he does not act in this mood and shows his best genius.

We must be patient. Young boys can show themselves at their best. It might be better this way, just put it out there. We’ll talk about today’s transfer soon, and we still have some important games ahead of us.

How will Roma cope with the loss of El-Ainau and N’Dika at the African Cup of Nations? We’ll know tomorrow if it goes away. We would like the stink to stay with us against Como, otherwise if there were any other games we would be left without two key players. “Today we were convinced that the smell is even more important,” Gasperina quotes Voetbal-Italia.

Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche commented on Oleksandr Zinchenok’s performance in the European League match against Utrecht, where the team won 2:1.

After Dyche’s words, the Ukrainian lushly jumped into the match and confused the coaching staff to come up with a plan for the fight.

“To be honest, this was not part of our plans. We found ourselves in a different role from Zinchenko, and only a few times, even competently replacing the center.

He acts unconventionally, constantly looking for the ball and changing accents. Such footballers will make you think and overwhelm you during the match,” said the coach.

Let’s not forget that Zinchenko joined Veresna on loan from Arsenal to Nottingham Forest. In the current season, the 28-year-old footballer played these matches without any effective action.
