Live TMW

The orange-green coach Eusebio Di Francesco he will speak at a press conference starting at 1.10pm, follow here TuttoMercatoWeb the direct verbatim of his words.

The press conference begins at 1.15pm.

After the victory against Genoa, is there a match with emotional value for you?
“I think more about Venezia than about my past at Roma. The team is working in the right way and I expect other answers. We are looking for work not only on the pitch, but also in terms of mental and tactical stability.”

Recover anyone?
“Ankle after the disqualification, some doubts about Yeboah who had a small problem.”

About training?
“I’ll do something different, I always prepare different strategies, it’s not the same match as Genoa. There will be moments when we have the ball, others when less so.”

What does Rome expect?
“Aggressive, in terms of game principles and aggression in general, which goes man for man. I expect some turnover given that they come from several games.”

Do you expect or hope Dybala is out?
“I can’t hope for this, he makes the difference and I look to mine.”

Duncan and Altar are not recovered?
“No. I think maybe Duncan can return to Verona, Altare easier after the break.”

There is a particular climate in Rome…
“I don’t think about it, even before Milan it was said, so it doesn’t count.”

Can Candela play again in a 3-man defense?
“He is an important option, he can play this role in the best possible way. He has speed, leg, he is good at inserting himself even as an arm.”

Soule?
“I see him again with great pleasure, I’m very close to him, when I see guys who love their work and put their heart into it I can’t help but appreciate it.”

Roma goes man for man, will it be essential to win individual duels?
“It’s always fundamental, even more so in this match as they are more used to this.”

How important was winning in terms of morale?
“We took a few slaps, but we have to grow from here and we are trying to do so with daily work.”

Satisfied with the team’s response after dropping Busio into the 3-5-2?
“The numbers are especially liked by journalists, but Busio also often found himself finishing the action if you noticed. That’s fine anyway, the only thing is that I didn’t like reading that we went back to last year’s form, because we have different game principles.”

Svoboda was among the most positive against Genoa.
“He’s growing, but I don’t like those who are satisfied and have to continue to grow because they know they can do more even if they did well with Genoa. The growth I’m talking about, however, is from the point of view of the group, not just the individual” .

Pohjanpalo missed more than one penalty out of 3…
“In the meantime let’s take them, I’m very confident in Pohjanpalo. He kicked it well, then after the mistake we became even stronger.”

The press conference ends at 1.30pm.
