Roma's D'Amico has addressed the future of Endrick, insisting that January is still a long way off and that the club will do its utmost to give head coach Gian Piero Gasperini extra resources. The comments came in a press conference-style interview ahead of Roma's Champions League clash with Slovan Bratislava, the third matchday fixture of the league phase.
Asked about the seven difficult minutes that Roma endured against Real Madrid, D'Amico said: "Those were particular minutes, without being able to breathe. Football is this, and the Champions League is a difficult competition, but the 80 spectacular minutes we played stay in our eyes. In every match, whether we win or lose, we analyse all the positive and negative details. I believe that in the game with Real the negative side is the points, but we had a great evening."
On the victory over Genoa, which saw several young players feature, D'Amico said: "It was a good evening and we were curious too. The coach is a master at this: if he has valid players available, he always gets the maximum. The game against Genoa was not simple, especially because it came three days after the match with Real. The lads were really good. We know we can count on a decent squad."
On the Endrick situation, D'Amico said: "January is too far away. Now we concentrate on ourselves, on our young players. Then what we can do in the January transfer market, we will do by putting in our maximum effort to give the coach extra resources, given the many matches we will face."
