Gasperini: Wesley arrives in Rome on Sunday, hoping the lineup we envisions will come true

July 27th Roma defeated Kaiserslautern 1-0 in the warm-up match, and Roma coach Gasperini was interviewed after the game.

Is Roma progressing slowly in the transfer market?

"Wesley will come tomorrow, but then we will start a new job, so we have to wait for a while..."

How many players are missing now?

"I don't know either, you guys will calculate this time (laughs). I started counting since the end of the May season, and it is actually easy to see."

If I say that there are still four or five key players missing, will it be exaggerated?

"This is not an excuse, but a portrayal of reality. We cannot deceive ourselves. Just look at the players who have left the team and are not yet in place... This is a math problem, not a subjective judgment, just calculate it (laughs). "

"The coaches all hope that the lineup will be neat as soon as possible, otherwise what is the point of pre-season training? If half of the teams are gone, what's the use of our preparation? This is not a problem for me alone, and all coaches are facing the same situation."

"I hope the plan we imagine in our minds will eventually be realized. I know it may take more than a month, but I can't say how long it will take, because the transfer market never follows the rhythm of the coach. It would be great if I could really build the lineup I imagined with the club."
