DI FRANCESCO PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma's coach, spoke to the media in the pre-match press conference on the eve of the Champions League game against Real Madrid.
About the Saturday's match against Udinese Di Francesco said: "We didn’t show enough determination, which is not something you can go and buy at the supermarket. We lacked desire to win and hunger in both defence and attack. We’d prepared for the game and I saw it as the most important match we had. Losing was enormously annoying".
About Real Madrid, who have changed coach, he said: "I think they’re very similar to the team we saw in the first game, in terms of their movement and the characteristics of the players. I don’t see any big differences, but there will be on a psychological level. They were in great form going into the first game, while we were still finding out feet. The match comes in a different time for both team".
