Adani demands respect for Gasperini as Roma seek clarity after Lecce win
Roma secure 1‑0 victory over Lecce
Roma bounced back from their Europa League exit with a narrow 1‑0 win against Lecce. The decisive strike came from teenage French forward Robinio Vaz, born in 2007, who joined the club in January for €30 million from Marseille as an alternative to Malen. It was his first goal in a Giallorossi shirt.
Lele Adani calls for an owners’ explanation
During a discussion on La Domenica Sportiva, former defender Lele Adani said: “Gasperini is one of the most revolutionary coaches of the last ten years and the club chose him for that reason, so I believe that, as well as respect, he also deserves a clarification from the owners.”
“The owners must provide an explanation; otherwise this project will never get off the ground.” – Lele Adani
Injury list and squad constraints under Gasperini
Adani highlighted the depth problems: Dybala and Soulé are unavailable, Ferguson and Dovbyk are out, Bailey left in January, Ndicka is at the Africa Cup of Nations, Angelino has issues and Wesley has been shifted to left‑back. He warned that “we’re in sixth place and we want to develop the youngsters”.
- Current Serie A standing: level with Juventus in fifth place.
- Como sit three points ahead of both Roma and Juventus.
- Key recent signing: Robinio Vaz – €30 million.
- Injured or absent stars: Dybala, Soulé, Ferguson, Dovbyk, Bailey, Ndicka, Angelino.
Implications for Roma’s Champions League ambitions
The win restores confidence but the squad’s injury woes and the need for an owners’ response to Gasperini could shape Roma’s push for a Champions League qualifying spot.
