Pellegrini: Roma s improved offense should have scored more goals, but the most important thing is to win

In the 8th round of Serie A last night, Roma defeated Sassuolo 1-0 away from home. Roma midfielder Pellegrini was interviewed after the game.

Roma is currently tied for first place in the Serie A standings. Can first place be your goal?

Our goal is to continue to improve, and our offense did better today than in other games. We had suffered two consecutive defeats, one in the Europa League and the other against Inter Milan - we played well in that game but still lost. We were very eager to win this game and we gave it our all on the court and achieved this crucial victory. Everyone deserves this victory.

What do you think of this victory? Roma took control of the game

Yes, we pressed in the right way and controlled the ball, dominated the game, left the opponents breathless and made it difficult for them. We are happy, we performed well and could have scored more goals. I also had one shot that hit the post and a couple of other shots that could have been better. But the most important thing is to win and we are very happy.

There are many Roma fans who came to cheer for the away game, and you were cheered by the Sassuolo home fans when you played (Pellegrini played for Sassuolo for two years)

We are lucky to have these fans, they are very important to us. For me, Mapei Stadium is like home and I send my greetings and hugs to the Sassuolo fans, who remain in my heart.
