The stakes are very high, but overload a game – even if that is the UEFA Champions League – is likely to be counterproductive. Gervinho is well aware that on the eve of the match AS Roma against Manchester City FC considers that the Olympic “a special game, but at the same time as all the others.” Where the goal of the Giallorossi is to move forward “for both people, both for ourselves and for the club.”
Deployed initially on the bench in anticipation against US Sassuolo Calcio, the Ivorian striker played the last 35 minutes, those in which the team of Rudi Garcia has produced the greatest effort to recover two-goal deficit and reach the final 2-2. Wednesday night is ready to resume the starting spot, to drag the team with his acceleration and his one-on-one.
The challenge against the champions of England “is prepared normally,” says Gervinho in the press conference, “is a special game, but at the same time as all the others. The objective of Rome is moving forward, we want to do is for the people, both for ourselves and for the club. “
Arriving in the capital after two seasons of ups and downs with the shirt of Arsenal FC , the number 27 does not consider that second yellow against Manchester City revenge: the importance of the three points at stake is regardless, because they are worth the UEFA Champions League. “Although I have played in the Premier League, this is a game that gives itself many emotions,” notes, “Even if it was against Arsenal would be a rematch. It ‘a special commitment, we want to win and go to the next step. “
When the games really count is difficult for Rudi Garcia renounce him, a player that the French coach knows very well having coached at LOSC Lille . Gervinho, however, is taking nothing for granted: “It ‘s true, the game often, but I work hard in training to deserve a place in the field. This does not mean that the technician I reserve privileges. I hope to be worthy of such important games, for me it is not obvious from the start to be deployed: hard work, and like most of the others, to continue to deserve the confidence of the coach. “
What must be constant regardless of the interpreters, he explains, is that the Roma takes the field “with the same mentality, in a special environment.” The three-match ban remedied by Yaya Toure after the game against PFC CSKA Moskva will prevent him from being in front of his teammate. “It ‘a great player, very important for Manchester City,” said Gervinho, “It’ a shame that there can be a derby between us Ivorians, but apart from that they are only focused on the game that we will do, and that I will. I’m sure it will be an important game and we can win. “
I also hope all the fans that Giallorossi gremiranno the Olimpico.
