Adani slams Allegri over remarks about Roma, calls for apology

Source: Retesport

Daniele Adani has criticised Massimiliano Allegri, the Napoli coach, over a remark aimed at Roma, saying Allegri should apologise to the Giallorossi. Adani, who has historically not seen eye to eye with Allegri, is reportedly in unanimous agreement with others on this occasion, following what the article describes as a clumsy verbal slip by the Napoli boss against the Rome club.

Adani said: "If this is confirmed, I hope Allegri apologises for this allusion, which would be pathetic and disrespectful towards Roma, towards Gasperini and towards football." His comments centre on the reference to Roma and head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, whom he defends directly.

The remarks have drawn criticism beyond Adani, and the controversy places Roma's name at the centre of a debate between two Serie A coaches. Adani's call for an apology underlines how strongly he views the comment as an affront to the club and to its head coach.

Story Coverage2 sources on this story

Daniele Adani, whom Retesport names as Daniele and Forza Roma as Lele, has criticised Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri over remarks aimed at Roma after the Napoli v Roma match and called for an apology. Adani's central complaint is the reference to Roma and to head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, and he said that, if confirmed, the remark would be "pathetic and disrespectful towards Roma, towards Gasperini and towards football."

Forza Roma reports the words Allegri shouted after the final whistle on Saturday evening: "Last year they put the Champions League in Roma's pocket, they are always them." It says several journalists and Roma officials heard them clearly. The remark referred to Milan's late collapse at the end of last season, which let Gasperini's Roma finish third, above Allegri's Milan, after Milan dropped important points at Cagliari, a side with nothing left to play for. Forza Roma adds that Roma now expect the Procura Federale to open an investigation.

Retesport frames the episode differently, describing it as a clumsy verbal slip and noting Adani's history of disagreement with Allegri. It says Adani is in unanimous agreement with others on this occasion and treats the remark as unconfirmed, using "if this is confirmed" where Forza Roma reports the words as verified. Speaking on Domenica Sportiva, according to Forza Roma, Adani added that he preferred to talk about football and that Allegri should express himself differently rather than rely on sarcasm that is out of place.

“Daniele Adani, si sa, storicamente non è mai stato in sintonia con Massimiliano Allegri ma in questo caso trova dalla sua un pensiero abbastanza unanime, sul conto del tecnico del Napoli, autore di una scivolata dialettica sgangherata nei confronti del club giallorosso. “Se questa cosa è…”

Gollini praises Roma's group and predicts a great career for Lulli

Pierluigi Gollini spoke to reporters after Roma's 9th-round Serie A win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, saying the points were heavy and keep the club in contention. The goalkeeper credited the squad for its depth and commitment. The Roma stopper said the team has played many matches and that it is normal to lose some sharpness at times, but that big teams find a way to win even when they are not playing their best. He said the group is giving a lot of answers and that everyone is always available, calling it a great credit that should be recognised. Asked whether he expected Lulli to be so strong, Gollini said: "We saw him in training camp and we thought he had great athleticism. Many times we have told him that the quality of his choices will determine his career. It will be up to him to learn to make the right choices. He has his head on his shoulders; every now and then I have to remind him to defend because he likes to attack, but he is super humble and he will have a great career." On whether his own performances are a response to doubters, Gollini said: "I have played little in recent years, but in training I see myself, and my teammates see me. Obviously football is a world that moves super fast; if you do nothing, it seems you are finished. Even though I have not played, I have always been in an environment of great level. I am happy to have had this chance now, even though we are sad for Mile. We have to keep going like this."

Roma give players a rest day after Cagliari win, return to training Thursday ahead of Udinese

Gian Piero Gasperini has granted his Roma players a day off after the 4-2 midweek win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico. The squad will report back to Trigoria directly on Thursday afternoon, two days before Saturday's trip to Udinese. The Udinese match, counting for matchday 10 of Serie A, is scheduled for Saturday 31 October at 18:00. The break is a chance for the players to switch off and push towards the final stretch before the November international break. Between Saturday 31 October and Saturday 7 November, Roma face Udinese and Sassuolo in Serie A, as well as the important Champions League away trip to Manchester United on Tuesday 3 November. The Cagliari victory gave the players a reward after the midweek fixture, and the schedule now moves quickly from the weekend trip to Friuli into a busy run of matches against Udinese, Sassuolo and Manchester United.
