Totti on leaving Trigoria and Salah's two seasons at Roma

Former Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove, now at Watford, has praised Gian Piero Gasperini's side, saying the team has great potential and is playing at a very high tempo in Serie A. Bove spoke as a guest on Domenica Sportiva, where he presented his documentary "In un Battito", which tells his own story. Bove, born in 2002, said Roma defend by attacking, press high and mark man-to-man. He said he had faced Gasperini when he was in Italy and remembered how difficult it was to play against his teams. Speaking about his own situation, he said he had prepared during a long period away from the game and expected mental difficulties, particularly in his relationship with his heart and its beat. He said the fear of remembering was sometimes present, which made facing everything and undertaking an inner journey important. On his return to the pitch, Bove said he now feels calm, but added that the professionals who helped him overcome everything made the difference. Asked about a possible return to Italy, he said: "Being in England makes me happy, it was a dream. However, I don't hide that I always have one eye on Italy."

A new Roma retro lifestyle shirt, made by Adidas, has been revealed, drawing on the club's traditions and echoing elements already seen on the 2026/27 away kit. The design was first reported by Footy Headlines, and the shirt is set to go on sale soon. The shirt is being presented as part of Roma's build-up to the centenary season. Its base is dark red, crossed at chest height by a wide yellow horizontal band finished with thin cream-coloured edges. Adidas' classic three stripes in cream appear on the shoulders and along the sleeves, while the Adidas Trefoil in yellow sits on the chest. The most striking feature is the historic ASR monogram enclosed within the crest, a symbol Roma used between 1945 and 1949 and which has already been reintroduced on the 2026/27 away shirt. The lifestyle shirt will be available soon.

Gasperini has described his time at Roma as a wonderful story that is only just beginning. Speaking about the club, the head coach said: "My story with Roma is still young, begun a year and a half ago, but it is as wonderful as the previous ones. We hope to continue on this path." He said his aim is to keep following the path the team has taken. On Lazio, Gasperini said: "Surely it is a surprise, but it also represents a value and a recognition for the city. Rome is extraordinary in its enthusiasm for football. Roma always have a full stadium, while Lazio perhaps have other problems." The remarks touch on the Rome derby rivalry and the strength of football support in the capital. On the team's results and the solidity of his group, Gasperini said: "We have been competitive for some months now. Roma have grown a lot, but we had also made a good start last year. Eleven matches are certainly not many, but they are significant for how the team has performed. The atmosphere gives us great fuel to be able to do well." He has been in charge since 2025, and Roma have been competitive for several months under his leadership.
