Serie A: Atalanta-Roma, break with Gomez

 "The coach, in agreement with the club, has decided not to call up the footballer Alejandro Papu Gomez for a technical choice".

A meager note on the official website for the final break.

"Let's talk about football. Our attention must only turn to Roma, after having faced Ajax, Fiorentina and Juventus in a convincing way."

The eve of Atalanta, which began with the press conference without hints on the exclusion of Papu Gomez by Gian Piero Gasperini, ended with the surprise after five in the afternoon announced by Sky.

And to say that on Wednesday evening the number 10 for 6 years now had taken over Pessina with Juventus, the tactical weapon on the trocar that is excluding him from the favorite role of all-player.

Some hints of the decision, in the long wave of the dispute against Midtjylland, with the leader's refusal to expand to the right, in the words of the coach could be found: "Seniority, belonging and games played determine the armband.

    It's not just what brings it about: Toloi, Freuler and De Roon are on the same level for me.

It is essential to have more reference players for the club, the team, the locker room and the coach. "Clue number two:" We hope to recover Pasalic, I do not ask the club to intervene.

In January, at the most, the count is made of who is happy to stay - remarked Gasperini -.

I don't know what to say about Maehle, today we have the head of Roma and Bologna.

There are many names, it makes sense to speak only with the official ". If he glosses over the champion en route and does not pronounce himself on the incoming winger, the coach finds Ilicic, who returns after two matches in the place of the separated at home:" he has been training in a group since Friday, kicks hard and well, has overcome the flu problem.

It will take two weeks for Ruggeri, even Caldara and Pasalic will see them again on the pitch in the new year. "Giallorossi chapter:" We find a quality team in excellent condition, scoring many goals and finding the right pace.

Fonseca has done a great job, he is doing better than last season: he is one of the big names in the championship at a time when there are many in a few points - the opinion of the Gasperinis -.

After the scoppola with Liverpool it was essential for us to come up with solutions: we concede a few goals, maybe we have to do more.

Our performances have not always been enhanced: I am thinking of the 0-0 with Spezia and the 0-2 with Verona, only because we have not achieved.

We also gave Juve some opportunities.

    "" 600 games as president of Antonio Percassi?

It is a great achievement.

Grown up in the team, great entrepreneur, great president.

I wish him another 6 thousand ... ", concludes Gasperini.
