DI FRANCESCO: A DECENT POINT, BUT WE STILL DO A LOT BETTER"
Roma's coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, spoke after Roma-Napoli 1-1.
"We’re disappointed to have conceded in the 90th minute, even though I have to say Napoli deserved to draw in the end, given how the match went. We had players starting with fitness problems. What we most struggled with was keeping our rhythm and being incisive. We were much better in the first half in playing the ball out through their press, taking risks at times, but that was the idea – we knew that playing around their first press would help us create danger. We also forced them to run a great deal. "However in the second half we were the ones forced to run around and we struggled to reverse the momentum, dropping too deep".
About ups and downs of his team Di Francesco said: "I think we put in an excellent display this evening. We made a few bad technical decisions, but in terms of our desire, our compactness as a team and our fight, we did well. This feels like an achievement in itself. We’re keeping on working – we’ve played thirteen competitive games this season. We’ve made some changes and we’re trying to calm things down for the players, in our results and our play. I want to be consistent with the players and convince them of the displays they are capable of. At least we got a positive result here".
