Roma lost 1-2 at home to Plzen in the Europa League. After the game, Roma coach Gasperini evaluated the team's performance.
Gasperini said: "The team fought until the last minute, trying hard to equalize the score and score a goal. In the second half, we persisted until the 90th minute and performed well. Although we had many opportunities in the opponent's penalty area, we gained nothing. The defensive end has always been our pillar, and we did a good job of preventing the opponent's counterattack. The overall performance was positive."
Then, he talked about the opportunities on the offensive end. "We had enough space to create effective offense in the first half, and we need to reflect on why we failed to do so. Even if we conceded a goal shortly after the opening, we still have the conditions to create threats on the offensive end and score goals more efficiently. Now this is obviously not enough."
"The problem must be solved through the existing players: more assists and goals are needed. If many players do not score high, then the quality needs to be improved, otherwise other aspects of performance will be considered negative. The offensive end is the key to winning the game."
4} Finally, Gasperini concluded: "Being behind is always disadvantageous, especially when facing certain teams. It becomes more difficult. However, just like tonight, we also have the opportunity to turn the situation around. Cone will be examined tomorrow and he looks a little limp. Tsimikas did not play due to tactical choices. Wesley performed very well and was full of energy, although there were occasionally some cross mistakes. Celik performed well against Inter Milan, and Tsiolkovsky is a young player and needs more time to adapt to such a game."
