Roma look to bounce back tonight as they host Pisa at the Stadio Olimpico in a crucial Serie A clash. Following a disappointing defeat at San Siro, the Giallorossi are eager to reclaim their winning form and climb the table.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini has been forced into a defensive change, with key defender Gianluca Mancini sidelined due to injury. Stepping into the spotlight is young Daniele Ghilardi, who will wear the number 23 shirt in this high-pressure fixture.
Speaking to DAZN before the match, the 2003-born center-back addressed the team's mindset. "The defeat in Milan was tough to take," Ghilardi admitted. "But in football, you have to reset quickly. Tonight is vital—securing three points would be a massive boost for our league position and, more importantly, our team spirit."
With only seven matches remaining in the season, every game carries immense weight. Ghilardi emphasized the squad's unity to Sky Sport, stating, "The results haven't gone our way recently, but this is a tightly-knit group. We're fully focused and ready to give everything to get back to winning ways starting tonight."
Known for his work ethic, Ghilardi also shed light on his approach in training. "My goal every week is to challenge the coach in practice," he explained. "I push myself to the limit so that when my chance comes, I'm ready to seize it. I'm hoping to deliver a performance that helps the team secure a positive result."
