In an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport, he expressed, "Gasp is the one who truly understands me. I have spent countless years by his side. Honesty and loyalty are the core values of my life, although I have made some mistakes in the past. I am currently focusing on enhancing my clarity in certain situations and achieving a sense of calm. I am aware that I need to soften some rough edges that are characteristic of my people from Dalmatia, as I hail from Split."
Roma coach Ivan Juric admits he's heavily influenced by Atalanta counterpart Gian Piero Gasperini.AdvertisementAdvertisementHe then added: "At almost 50, can you really change?
"It's an attempt I'm making. When I was 27, 28, I found myself working with Gasp, I thought I knew everything about football and life, but instead he taught me what I really am. I still feel young enough to try...
"In Roma we're trying to raise the level, with passion. It's logical that I talk to you about my perceptions, which, I repeat, are extremely positive."
And finally, he said: "For my character, all this mess is fine: I give my best, I don't like boredom. In training and in matches the responses are positive. Players who have bad postures after two training sessions show the correct one, they learn quickly and I'm having fun. Now we have to put together some results."
