Gasperini: "My ambition is to always look ahead" on Scudetto

Gasperini says his ambition is to keep looking forward rather than focus on the Scudetto, praising Roma's passion and the team's competitive form this season.

Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at the "Un Cuore da Leone" award ceremony in Genoa, reflecting on his career and the current Serie A season. He described his time at Genoa as a fundamental stage in his career and praised Bergamo as wonderful, before noting that his year and a half at Roma has been equally special given the club's scale and the city's passion for football.

Gasperini acknowledged that a derby deciding the Scudetto in November is a surprise for everyone, but called it a recognition of Rome's extraordinary status and incredible enthusiasm for the sport. He noted that Roma always has a full stadium and that the city lives football with incredible passion.

On the title race itself, Gasperini said his ambition is to keep looking forward rather than focus on winning the Scudetto. He emphasized that while it is still early in the season with only 11 matches played, the team's performances have been significant and they have created an environment that gives them momentum to continue performing well. He described the Serie A campaign as balanced and extraordinary.
