"Dangerous enthusiasm? As far as I'm concerned, enthusiasm is a positive energy. It's clear that when things don't go well there's a risk of getting too depressed. But we mustn't think about that, we must only think about Inter: matches like this are great to play." This was said by Gian Piero Gasperini at the press conference on the eve of the match against the Nerazzurri.
As for the gap with the Italian champions, "I believe - the Roma coach clarified - that they are the benchmark team, they are doing extraordinary things in Italy and in Europe. This is why reaching the point of competing with them is an ambition shared by everyone - he added -. They are superior in some things not only compared to us, but compared to everyone. The numbers say it: today they are the strongest. We must look at ourselves, we are trying to establish ourselves and continue to stay in a top position."
"There is satisfaction in reaching this fixture with this standing in the table - Gasperini added -. It is a highly anticipated match, but it is only the beginning of the season." Finally, on how to prepare for a game like tomorrow's, he concluded: "Mentally this game prepares itself. We need to have the composure to focus on the pitch to understand how to counter this team and show that we are competitive."
