Mancini Jr.: I am very confident in Gasperini. Roma can qualify for the Champions League + Italian Cup finals

Roma's former player Mancini Jr. talked about topics such as Champions League goals, Dovpyk, and this round of Serie A.

What do you think of the Rome coached by Gasperini? The season has just begun, but I am very confident in Gasperini's Rome. He is a football-know coach and performed very well in Atlanta. Moreover, Roma's start was also very smooth, winning 4 games in the first five rounds of the season. Unfortunately, Roma lost to Lille in the Europa League mid-week, but that game should not affect his confidence in Roma. I like this Rome style, they are just starting to work, but there is still a lot of room for growth.

Which new player do you have the most impressed? Who is the most in line with Gasperini football style?

Sulai is a player I like very much, and Ferguson, who is strong and has great strength. I also like Wesley, who is still accustomed to Italian football, but will continue to improve under Gasperini.

Dolfbik missed two consecutive penalty kicks in the Europa League in the middle of the week. How should a player recover after encountering this experience?

He must have a strong mentality and character. He is still young. He may have encountered some setbacks during this period, but he must remain strong. He has to understand which team and which city he is playing for, and he has to solve this problem. Of course, Gasperini and his coaching team will communicate with him, and teammates such as Mancini, Christant, Pellegrini will also help him, and these people will help him get out of the trough together.

Roma will challenge Fiorentina in Serie A away this weekend. This game will be tough because home games in Fiorentina are always tough. Roma must play his strength and must play high-intensity games as Gasperini's requirements to strive for victory. Even if you can't win, you have to get at least 1 point, which I think is very important at this stage. The most important thing is to avoid losing.

What was your most memorable moment in Rome? Which Romans do you still keep in touch with?

I keep in touch with all the Brazilian players and occasionally chat with De Rossi on Instagram. I spent a lot of good times in Rome, but I also had difficult times, like the moment when we almost relegated, when we relied on Casano's goal to beat Atlanta to relegate successfully. The atmosphere of the fans in Rome is tough, you have to have a strong personality to gain a foothold here, but it is also beautiful. When things don't go well, it's hard to deal with it without a strong personality.

Do you remember the heel goal you scored at the Rome Derby on November 9, 2003?

I always tell you that I have done a lot of other wonderful things in Rome, haha. At that time, Casano took the free kick, and I found a gap at the front point. His pass was not very good, it was a half-high ball. The only move I could do at that time was to shoot with my heel. I watched this goal video countless times, and you will find that Emerson also did the same moves as me, but I was lucky and the ball went in. This is not a tactic in advance, and at that moment I could only shoot with my heels. And in training three months later, I once again scored the same goal with Casano's free kick.

What kind of results do you think Roma can achieve this season?

In Serie A, Roma can easily enter the Champions League. If Roma maintains a steady performance, they still have a chance to reach the Italian Cup final. However, the situation may be a bit difficult in the Europa League, but I hope Roma can continue to grow and go further in the Europa League as much as possible.
