“Congratulations to Roma, they have achieved many positive results, they are doing something extraordinary, we faced an amazing goalkeeper, if he is the best on the pitch it means that the game was done.”

“Today the episodes did not go well for us. We must put this game behind us and think about Thursday.”

“Zaniolo? Nicolò was a great footballer before his injuries, now he is recovering, in my opinion he should be protected a little, he is a good boy, he is committed. I was hoping he could score today, that’s why I started him.”
