Gasperini has no more limits: he chose Roma to aim for the title
Summarised by MatchPal
Gasperini joined Roma to win the Scudetto, a title that has eluded him throughout his career; the team has scored 41 goals in 15 games this season.
Gian Piero Gasperini chose Roma at age 67 because he believes the club has all the ingredients to win the Serie A title—a goal that has never been within reach during his managerial career. The rare combination of wealthy ownership, passionate supporters, and a united squad convinced him to take on the challenge.
In his second season, Gasperini's tactical imprint on Roma is complete. The team has scored 19 more goals in the league compared to the same point last season (31 vs 12 after 11 matches). Of eight victories, seven have been by multiple goals, with an average of 3.37 goals per win. Roma reached 41 goals in 15 games across all competitions—a pace that took 30 matches last season.
Tactically, Roma now presses aggressively in the opponent's half, with full-backs pushed high and midfielders screening the defence as centre-backs support the attack. The team has created 49 big chances in 11 league games, compared to 20 in Gasperini's first season.
Offensive metrics have surged: shots on target up from 57 to 72, touches in the final third from 267 to 409, and successful dribbles from 60 to 102. High pressing has recovered 60 balls in the attacking third over 11 games.
