Rodrigo Mora dazzles with a late finish against Muric

Roma closed their run of fixtures before the international break with a 3-0 win over Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has granted the squad three days of rest. Eleven Giallorossi will join their respective national teams in the coming days, while the players who remain in the capital will return to work. Roma players who are not called up will resume training at Trigoria on Wednesday afternoon, when preparation for their next commitments begins. The rest period gives Gasperini a clear window to plan the work ahead of the club's upcoming fixtures. The Italian original also carries links to the club's free news channels on Telegram and WhatsApp, which are not part of the match or training report.

Mario Hermoso spoke to reporters after Roma's win over Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico, the Eleventh-round Serie A fixture just concluded. The Roma defender reflected on the team's mentality following a difficult evening and stressed the importance of the result. Hermoso said: "This is something the coach wants. Sometimes when these things happen, modern football doesn't give you time to think. The team wants to win and stay at the top. For us it was too important to win today, and we did." He also scored a goal in the match, one that was described as the finish of a pure striker. Asked whether Gian Piero Gasperini is also developing the defenders, Hermoso said: "The coach gets you physically ready to find this kind of situation. We have the quality to get there, pass it well or shoot at goal."

Rodrigo Mora has praised Roma's strength after a win over Sassuolo, speaking to SkySport at the final whistle, and said he has scored in three consecutive league matches. He said he had been lucky to score another important goal, thanks to a fine pass from Donyell Malen. Mora said: "A great pass from Malen, I had a go and today I was lucky to score another important goal and Roma keep winning." Asked whether he expected a team this strong, Mora said: "Yes, I thought it was a strong team, I saw it in training too and we are showing it on the pitch. We have to keep going like this and it will go well." On his own role, and how things have changed since the start of the season, with more game time now, he said: "Football is crazy, sometimes you play and sometimes you don't, but you have to be ready. It's my third consecutive league goal and I'm very happy." Mora also spoke about his call-up to the Portugal squad. He said: "I'm proud, it's a pleasure to play for the national team. Ronaldo won't be there, but he is my idol, and I learned a lot from him when we shared the dressing room."
