Gasperini: Great Start After Fiorentina Rout, Roma Continues to Improve

Gian Piero Gasperini, the manager of Roma, expressed his immense happiness with the level his team displayed during the resounding 4-0 victory over Fiorentina in the opening round of Serie A. Donyell Malen scored a hat-trick, while Nicolo Bessili added the fourth goal.

Gasperini said after the match: "We played a very strong game, and the most important thing is that we played with the character we want. It's natural to feel happy after a start like this, but we must not over-celebrate, because the season is very long."

He added: "Malin had a fantastic match, but I am happy with the team performance above all. When the team moves well and finds spaces, it becomes easier for quality players to make a difference."

The coach spoke about Paulo Dybala and his role in the match, saying: "Dybala was very important for us today, not just through what he delivered on the ball, but also in the way he helped the team create spaces and opportunities."

Gasperini concluded: "We want to build a team with a clear identity. Winning 4-0 gives us confidence, but it doesn't change our goals or our way of working. We must continue to evolve match by match."
