Stramaccioni: Gasperini and Chivu both left their mark on their respective teams

This Sunday, Roma will face Inter Milan at home. Former Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni talked about several topics about this game.

The imprint of Gasperini is more obvious, or the influence of Chivu is greater

"Gasperini came to Roma with the concepts and ideas he has accumulated over the years, and is putting them into practice. Chivu, on the basis of inheriting his predecessor, convinced the players with his own ideas and strength. Both can be satisfied and have passed on a lot in a few months. But they have just started, and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

What aspects of Roma's experience? The "Gasperini-style" characteristics are revealed, and what areas need improvement

"Roma's height of the defensive line, occupation of space, and the way of thinking of always pushing forward when possession of the ball all reflect the characteristics of Gasperini. However, in terms of reaction after losing the ball, they often counterattack instead of protecting space and retracement. In addition, the unpredictability and intensity of the right-side attack, as well as the forward's scoring ability, need to be improved."

What about Inter Milan? What Chivu brings and what is missing

"The team's focus is higher. The midfielder is always the first to signal the pressing in the ball area, and the team follows up bravely. But the stability of the defensive mentality still needs to be improved. This happened often at the beginning of the season, but now I see more attention. If Inter Milan can solidify the defense again, they will have few opponents in the league."

About Sveral and Sommer, and Josep Martinez's rotation in Inter Milan

"Svillar is one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, and his performance played a key role in Roma's excellent defense in 2025. Sommer survived the difficult moments after the Juventus game, and Martinez also proved his reliability. He can become Inter Milan's main goalkeeper."

Can Gasperini's three central defenders stop Lautaro

"Ranieri started a remarkable job, and Gasperini continued and expanded it. To cause trouble for Roma's defense, their anticipation and ability to cover each other must be broken. When the three central defenders are isolated, Roma will be in trouble."

Inter Milan regained its defensive solidity after some mistakes, how big Akanji's role was

"Akanji did make a contribution, But Acerbi, Bastoni and Sommer have also raised their standards. "

Cone could have joined Inter Milan, where he would have faced a midfield consisting of Varela, Mkhitaryan and Calhanoglu.

"Cone is one of the best players in his position, and he allowed Cristante to play to his strengths, so the latter returned to the national team. Varela is in good form and Mkhitaryan is also in a good period, but the key is how to limit Cha Erhanoglu. Gasperini usually deals with him in two ways: one is through a 3-4-1-2 formation, with one player following him all the time; the other is through the active pressing of the two midfielders. I am looking forward to how he will respond this time. "

Which side will have the advantage

" The most eye-catching matchup is Dimarco vs. Wesley. Both are attacking players, but in different ways: Dimarco has excellent His left foot skills and enviable physical fitness. On the other side, Angelino's low center of gravity countered Dumfries' strength, posing a problem for everyone as the Dutchman looked for a second place. "

On the offensive end, Dov Bik and Ferguson performed poorly, while Chivu can get goals from any player.

" The forward may be the only unsolved part of Roma's new season, but Ferguson is in good form and has just scored a goal. Ireland scored a goal. These games are ideal opportunities to change the situation, although they will need to break through a strong defensive line. "

Boney and Pio performed well, will the impact of Thuram's absence be reduced?

"Pio is improving in every game, gaining more time, awareness and confidence. His wonderful goals are proof of that. Bony showed his value against Cremona and I think he is more likely to start. His diversity Sex could disrupt Roman defenses. Pio will be a powerful weapon in the game. Lautaro is still an important guarantee for the Argentina national team, and his performance proves this. "

Who is more unpredictable

"I think it is Roma. Pellegrini, Sule and Dybala will be unconventional 'weapons' in Gasperini's hands. Their offensive cooperation will determine Roma's threat in the Inter Milan penalty area. "
