Gasperini: Roma still lacks some things on the offensive end, but Masala and I are just a different division of labor

According to the "Milan Sports" report, Rome coach Gasperini was interviewed and talked about topics such as the team's signings in the summer window.
Rumors about myself and Rome's sports director Masala's broken relationship, and Masala may even resign
I always have the same goals as the club. Although we have not achieved all the goals (of the transfer plan), the club's support is very strong in every aspect. Is there any rumor that my relationship with Masala is tense? We only have different divisions of labor. I understand the difficulties in the transfer market, and I also understand the strategy of when to make efforts and when to bluff. I don't get involved in the negotiations because that's not my job, but there has to be coordination between the coach, the boss and the athletic director. I must say that the club has been more involved in the past few years than before, which is crucial to me.
Regarding why Roma chose not to invest in players not favored (such as Domingos or Enbolo)
As often happens, the last few hours of the transfer market are always full of twists and turns, and perhaps all clubs want to solve problems that have not been solved for weeks within hours. Rome was still willing at that time, and if I had to say something, it was necessary to do something. But for me, although the club is very willing to support these operations at the economic level, the transactions at the last moment will not bring technical advantages, but will instead have considerable economic expenditures. In this case, the club can operate more calmly and successfully in the transfer market in January next year. In addition, the restrictions on financial fair competition have also had a certain impact on us.
About Roma's forward line
For me, Roma still lacks something on the offensive end. We have already locked in some excellent players, but the actual situation in the transfer market has not brought us the desired results. I hope there will be more personnel to add, a player who can bring change, we will try again (in the future).
About Roma's current lineup
We have two young players coming to the back line, Wesley fills Solei's position last year, and Al Aynavi takes over Paredes. I would rather have one less midfielder than one more forward. We welcomed Bailey and Ferguson on the offensive end, but this position needs more attention. I hope Dovbik will return to the team due to injury, and Baldanzi and Pellegrini, we will start again with them. Everyone has a commendable mental outlook, and I am very satisfied with it.
We play in a passionate city, and the fans support us and inspire us. Perhaps my coaching style is also limited. If I cannot score a goal, there is a risk of losing the ball, but this is my understanding of football. I especially moved Solei's position forward, beyond his usual habits. He performed very well, and I believe other players will do the same.
