Gasperini: Cone is very strong and he will be a loss for Rome. Commenting Sancho now makes no sense

Roma draws 2-2 with Saudi United's newly promoted New Future City Sports in a friendly match. After the game, Gasperini was interviewed by the media and talked about the topics of Cone and Sancho.

About Roma's two goals conceded

"Two counterattacks lost two goals? This is not a problem with the defense itself, but a problem with the whole team. The defense counterattack depends on the whole team. We even led at the time. In addition to those two goals, there was a similar danger. This is not good. There is no reason to let the opponent break through like this, and we will try to avoid reappearance."

Will Dybala play the pseudo-Nine?

"Hope this won't happen. I always hope he can play familiar positions and we can play well with the regular center."

Bailey and Sancho?

"It doesn't make sense to evaluate players who do not belong to Roma."

Will Conne leave the team?

"This Rome has great potential, and we must continue to improve, but I communicated very clearly with the club and reached a consensus. The Conne is very strong, and letting him go will be a loss, but it depends on what you can do before the end of the transfer window. Everyone knows the restrictions of the Fiscal Fairness Act. If I just stayed dead, I would not be satisfied. The transfer market has been stagnant for more than 20 days, and if I can operate, it will move. I have already said very clearly what to do. The club has also told me about the bottom of it and hope it can be realized."
