Roma knocked out against Elfsborg, see Juric again: “Negative result, but not the performance”

Video

The Roma coach, Ivan Juricspeaking to Sky Sport, he commented on the defeat suffered last night at the Boras Arena against Elfsborg as follows: “There are many positive things, the team moved the ball well. I saw many opportunities, a lot of play. There is certainly we need to improve in the counterattacks, we didn’t manage to score a goal and we accept that, but I didn’t see a negative performance or any confusion.”

Do you suffer from preventive markings and re-aggressions?
“We are not aggressive enough to block on the preventatives even in numerical superiority. It is an aspect to improve, but then there have been many other positive ones. We have done many good things to get to the opponent’s frontline, but then there you have to raise the level. With Dovbyk and Pellegrini we have built interesting things. There are things to improve on, we concede too much on the counterattacks, but I absolutely don’t want to throw everything away.”

What is the structural problem of Roma’s squad? What are you particularly working on?
“It’s useless to think further, I have a quality squad and I have to bring out the best. I’m satisfied with many things, others need to be improved. Now we need to concentrate on the matches, on Monza, for me today in terms of play we made progress impressive forwards. We missed the details, but thinking about what’s missing in the squad is counterproductive.”

What moment is Soulè going through?
“He’s a boy who works hard, he has quality. At the moment he isn’t able to express all the talent he has but he doesn’t hide, he doesn’t suffer from pressure. I’m convinced he will grow. Then he’s a player who has had a good year in Frosinone and now he’s in Rome: we need to work but I’m very confident.”
