Fiorentina midfielder Brescianini praises Gasperini ahead of Roma clash

Source: Forza Roma

Fiorentina midfielder Marco Brescianini has spoken ahead of the Serie A match between Roma and Fiorentina scheduled for Monday, 4 May at the Olimpico (kick-off 20:45), the postponed fixture of matchday 35. Brescianini, who previously worked under Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta, offered high praise for the giallorossi tactician in an interview with TuttoSport.

Brescianini described Roma as one of the season's surprises, alongside Como, noting that the capital club embodies all of Gasperini's characteristic playing style. He acknowledged that Fiorentina could mathematically secure safety on Monday, though he emphasized that playing last in the round would not alter their competitive approach to the match. Regarding Gasperini, Brescianini stated: "For me he is a phenomenon. Many have tried to emulate him but he is unique, he has the mentality of someone who always wants to raise the bar. I learned a lot from him."

Brescianini also reflected on Fiorentina's season, suggesting the club could have occupied a higher league position but acknowledged that some seasons unfold in unpredictable ways. The match will pit two sides with contrasting trajectories—Roma's resurgence under Gasperini's management against Fiorentina's mixed campaign.
