Overview

• Gasperini’s debut friendly saw Roma deploy a high defensive line and relentless pressing to dismantle Serie D side Trastevere at Trigoria.
• Paulo Dybala, fielded as a false nine, scored twice in 45 minutes to mark an accelerated return from his March semitendinosus surgery.
• The win served as a live trial for Gasperini’s rotating trequartisti system, with Baldanzi, Soulé and Mannini interchanging behind the front line.
• Midfielder Sangaré exited in the second half with a left-thigh flexor injury, while Dovbyk, Salah Eddine and Pellegrini remained out with muscle issues.
• After the rout, Gasperini warned that Roma are trailing in the transfer market and called on ownership for an immediate boost in incoming signings.
