"I never settle early, but I would be very happy with that. More than the final position, I want to focus on us putting in this kind of performance. We have incredible fans. We can sense something extra when we get a deserved victory - there is an extra enthusiasm and it's contagious, so we needed that on home turf."
"It's an understandable viewpoint, but these lads give their heart and soul. Theoretically, there are stronger players in other teams, but do they have the same spirit, the same work ethic? At this moment, we're a good team and we're working to get better. It's never easy for anyone against us. We hope to continue with this spirit."
Roma sit three points off the Serie A summit after a 1-0 win over Como, with Wesley scoring a low cross-goal strike in the 60th minute. The victory was Roma's 10th from their opening 15 games, their best start since 2017-18 when they had 11 wins. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini would welcome a fourth-placed finish but emphasizes consistent performances, team spirit and work ethic rather than settling early. A win at Juventus could strengthen top-four position and Scudetto hopes, though Inter and Napoli may have stronger squads. Como forward Assane Diao suffered a hamstring injury after 37 minutes, and Cesc Fabregas had urged Senegal coach Pape Thiaw not to select Diao for the Africa Cup of Nations because of fitness concerns.
