Roma's title hopes remain alive despite a dismal defeat to Napoli, thanks in part to the team's unyielding spirit and never-say-die attitude. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini has been lauded for his ability to inspire his players, even when all seems lost. In a post-match interview, he acknowledged that Roma may have suffered from fatigue after a grueling week, but remained steadfast in their pursuit of the Scudetto.
The Giallorossi had taken the lead in the table with an impressive 76 points, a full 10 ahead of Napoli, and were considered serious contenders for the championship. However, a lack of consistency in front of goal has raised questions about Roma's ability to overcome their title rivals.
Gasperini has dismissed suggestions that Roma lack the depth to compete with the likes of Inter and Milan, pointing out that his team has shown a resilience and adaptability that has allowed them to stay in contention. "When you're in this position it's right to dream," he said, referencing his own mantra about staying in bed and keeping going.
Despite the setback against Napoli, Gasperini remains optimistic about Roma's chances, pointing out that they can't do any worse in the return leg of head-to-head matches with Inter. The manager's unorthodox approach to the game has been praised by fans, who appreciate his willingness to take risks and defy conventional wisdom.
As the season enters its final stretch, Roma will need to summon all their strength and determination to overtake Napoli and reclaim the Scudetto. With Gasperini at the helm, there is a sense that anything is possible for this team of plucky underdogs.
