Ivan Juric holds possible last Roma pre-match press conference ahead of Bologna | OneFootball

Roma manager Ivan Juric attended today’s pre-match press conference to preview the match against Bologna.

Today’s appearance could be Juric’s last as Roma’s head coach given the insistent rumors of his imminent sacking regardless of Sunday’s result.

“Bologna play really well,” said Juric. “I like the way Italiano has set them up.”

“To be honest with you, I don’t see many differences between the match in Florence and Thursday night, except for the final scoreline.”

“In every game so far there have been moments when I felt the team is mine, in others not so much.”

“I found the match of Thursday very disconcerting, like against Fiorentina. We showed no fight. I saw no soul in the team.”

“Hummels? I have no fight with him. He is a great professional, there is no problem at all.”

“But I have to be honest in my work and choose what I think is right for each game. I pick players based on what they have to do on the pitch, and Cristante did things better than him on Thursday night. I realize it is a difficult decision for him.”

Then he announced, “Dybala will not be available tomorrow. He’s experiencing discomfort in his muscle.”

“I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes so far. Since I arrived we tried everything. In some games the team showed that they can do well. The lack of continuity on a mental level bothers me a lot.”

“I have a clear conscience, I have never thought of taking a step back. I have seen improvements in many games, but also bad things in others.”
