Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at a Roma commercial partners event held at Relais Appia Antica, addressing the club's atmosphere, the pressures of the city, and his broader philosophy on football and business. The head coach, whose side currently tops the league standings, discussed what it takes to succeed at a demanding Roman club. "I knew that tactically it is very demanding and difficult," Gasperini said. "But what counts in football beyond results is the demonstration of knowing how to work seriously. And that is always appreciated."
Gasperini also reflected on Roma's recent fixture against Inter, praising the spectacle it produced under football's new regulations that minimise time-wasting. "It was a show. Also thanks to the new rules that now allow us to have no time losses and privilege spectacle, we are working well and I am very happy," he said. In his address to the club's commercial partners, he stressed the importance of sound ideas in business: "To make excellent investments you must have excellent ideas, it is the foundation for creating a business, and thanks to you also for the confidence you give to Roma and which also gives us extra responsibility."
Gasperini revealed personal detail about a wine from his Cantina Gilli in the Astigiano region, releasing on 5 October. Named "Freisa 3-4-3" after the 3-4-3 formation that has underpinned his tactical success, he explained: "I chose this name because 3-4-3 has been my fortune and so I hope it is a good omen, with that system I have built almost all my successes."
