Italian coach Gian Piero Gasperini, the head coach of AS Roma, confirmed that his team is focused on securing a spot in the Champions League this season, noting that the discussion about winning the Serie A title is no longer as significant as it used to be.

Gasperini said in his statements during the press conference held before the match against Inter Milan in Serie A: "We are talking about qualifying for the Champions League for a simple reason, because it brings a lot of money, no one talks about winning the title anymore, it seems that people are no longer interested in that, the focus has become on finishing the season in fourth place, and the reason is purely financial."

He added: "There are also technical goals that differ from financial goals, and they should be evaluated from match to match and from season to season, we are now in a good position and we will try to take advantage of it as much as possible, our important goal is tomorrow's match, it is a high-level confrontation."

Gasperini continued his discussion about the match against Inter Milan, saying: "We enter the match as leaders of the standings, but Inter is undoubtedly the best team in the league alongside Napoli, and we all agree on that, Inter is an exceptional team with what it has shown in Serie A and the Champions League, and facing them represents a big challenge for us."

The Italian coach added: "The best way to assess your true level is to face strong teams, as these matches help you know how competitive you are, even if you are not at your best, you can sometimes win or achieve a positive result, in such confrontations, everything must be presented in the best way possible."

Gasperini concluded his statements by saying: "Inter has a very strong squad despite some absences, and I expect a team determined to regain its balance and move up the standings, it is a big match for both sides, and it seems like a great opportunity to measure our true level."
