Gasperini: Calling a foul as soon as someone falls to the ground in the penalty area is a shortcoming of Italian football

In the 10th round of Serie A, Roma lost 0-1 away to AC Milan. After the game, Roma coach Gasperini attended the press conference.
■Is the first half hour the biggest regret tonight?
Gasperini said: "No, it's not just that period. The game was very open in the first 30 minutes, and we played well, but failed to seize the opportunity to take the game in the direction we wanted. If we can score early, the game will become more space. Then we fell into passivity in the second half, especially in difficult situations situation, because when Milan has space, they are very dangerous. Later there were penalty kicks and several chaotic opportunities in the penalty area. Many teams could equalize the score in that situation, but what we lacked was the efficiency of the final kick and Dybala's injury. "
■What is the situation with Dybala?
"He was injured while taking a penalty kick, which was really serious. He was in good condition and played with great quality. We must recover him as soon as possible, because he can significantly improve our offensive level."
■ Talk about memories of Galeone.
"I had the honor to spend the best time in Pescara. It was a very young team that successfully promoted after coming from Serie B, driving the passion of the entire region. Galeone is the most beloved player in Pescara and Abruzzo People. We successfully avoided relegation in Serie A and faced Trapattoni's Inter Milan, the Dutch Three Musketeers, and Maradona's Naples. He is a very special person and full of enthusiasm. "
■Does the team need to strengthen the front line in the winter window?
"It's only November 2nd, and I don't think there is a need to talk about the transfer market. We have to focus on the existing lineup and use all resources. It is difficult for me to single out a bad performance today. Indeed, we were somewhat restricted in the last 16 meters of the opponent's half, but if we only focus on the shortcomings, it is easy to ignore what the team already has."
■ You have faced Milan and Inter Milan. What do you think is the gap between the team and them?
"I think we are on the right path now, and this kind of game performance is the direction."
■How to evaluate the referee?
"I don't want to say more about the referee... There is only one thing that makes me a little dissatisfied. Now every time the ball enters the penalty area, someone always falls to the ground with his head in his hands, and then he is called for a foul. We have all had enough of this situation, which has nothing to do with real football. This is not a personal problem of the referee, but a long-standing shortcoming of the entire Italian football."
■ In what aspects does the team still need to improve?
"We could have grabbed more balls at the end of the game, because both sides made frequent crosses and created threats during that period."
■How far is Leon Bailey's physical condition from his best?
"I hope he is still far away (laughs). He has rested for a long time and his condition needs to be regained through games, even if it is just playing some time off the bench."
