Gian Piero Gasperini may have preferred to keep the focus on Milan in his pre-match press conference, but there’s no denying it: Roma has a chance to make a huge statement today. Thanks to Como’s draw
against Napoli earlier this weekend, a win today at the San Siro would give Roma sole possession of first place after 10 rounds of play.
While Gasp may prefer to focus on the present, Roma fans don’t often get to see their club at the top of the table. With all due respect to GPG, today’s match has huge implications for the club’s latest project—being in first place, even after just 10 weeks, would lend creedence to the club’s ambitions and give them extra motivation to upgrade the squad in January to make a genuine run at the Champions League, and perhaps giving Napoli and Inter Milan another team to contend with the Scudetto race.
The lineups are in, so let’s get down to business!
