Gasperini's Reaction to Udinese Leading Inter
Roma secured a victory against Torino, propelling them to the top of the league with a perfect record. However, the definitive confirmation of their leading position hinged on Inter's match against Udinese, which commenced shortly after Roma's game concluded. While Roma players were still at the stadium for interviews and the post-match press conference, unexpected news emerged.
Gasperini Learns of Inter's Deficit: His Response
During his press conference, Gian Piero Gasperini was informed that Udinese was leading Inter 2-0 (goals by Abankwah in the 9th minute and Ekkelenkamp in the 16th). This news visibly surprised him, prompting him to jokingly ask the journalists, "What time is it?" An Inter loss or draw would place Roma in sole possession of the league lead, awaiting their direct confrontation on Saturday, September 19th. Later, as he was leaving the press room, Gasperini was updated that the score at San Siro remained 2-0. With a touch of irony and superstition, he commented, "2-2!"
