  "account": "Gasperini expressed his contentment at Roma and mentioned that Malen could be similar to Higuain. After transferring from Atalanta, he is now relishing the team's strong start and rising enthusiasm. Gasperini emphasized that dreams cannot be stifled, stressing the importance of embracing reality and making it match one's aspirations. Despite a transfer market that was more challenging than anticipated due to Financial Fair Play, Roma retained a roster of dedicated players who opted for salary reductions. Gasperini remains confident in Paulo Dybala, urging him to continue playing even in the face of his team's dominance. For Donyell Malen, Gasperini praised his exceptional touch, prepping, and shooting abilities, stating that with these three touches, Malen can become a formidable threat. Additionally, Gasperini commended Rodrigo Mora for his incredible skill, noting that every time he touches the ball, something extraordinary happens. Lastly, Gasperini shared his anticipation for the upcoming Champions League match, viewing it as a chance to gauge Roma's competitiveness on both the domestic and international stages.",
