""I get along with everyone," Spalletti said at his pre-match press conference. "He's one of those who has always piqued my curiosity. "You can always learn from someone like Gasperini, who is a role model. Everyone does his thing. "How many times do you hear someone say 'they're doing it like Atalanta or Roma'? He's transformed players, from a mental point of view. "Like [Arrigo] Sacchi, Gasperini also created new situations. For that, he deserves praise.""
"It could easily have been Gasperini in the Juve dugout, though, as he was approached to manage the Bianconeri earlier this year. Explaining his decision to join Roma instead, Gasperini told Sky Sports Italia: "Because it was more difficult. I'm happy with how it went. "Now we face this important match. Juve remain a great team and winning is always in their DNA. We want to test ourselves against this team.""
Luciano Spalletti praised Gian Piero Gasperini as a role model and said many coaches and players can learn from his methods. Spalletti highlighted Gasperini's ability to transform players mentally and to innovate tactically, likening his impact to that of Arrigo Sacchi. Juventus have won five of their past six matches and lost just one of their last 11, giving them a chance to narrow the gap on Roma. Gasperini revealed he was approached by Juventus earlier in the year but chose Roma because it was a more difficult challenge. Jonathan David has scored in consecutive Champions League games but is in a 13-game Serie A drought.
