FONSECA: "IT'LL BE A GREAT GAME"
Roma's coach Paulo Fonseca spoke in his pre-match ress conference on the eve of the Serie A TIM match against Inter. Friday's game at the Giuseppe Meazza gets underway at 20:45 local time - with both sides going into the contest having won five of their last six matches in Serie A TIM. Inter currently sit top of the standings, while the Giallorossi have climbed up into the top five.
“The only thing I’m focusing on is playing tomorrow’s game against a very good side. I’ll say one thing: I’m focusing solely on our game against Inter tomorrow. I don’t want to hear about what’s happening in other games – I just want to concentrate on ours.”
On Edin Dzeko: “He’d not trained for a few days but he trained with us today and he’s ready to play. But I don’t want to say anything else about the team that will play.”
About Inter: “They are in great form and have a clearly defined playing style. It will be a very difficult game. They build the play with three central defenders and they have a really interesting dynamic – they’re very good. We’ve played against teams that use a back three many times, so it won’t be anything new for us.”
About Inter’s two strikers: “Show bravery. We’re prepared for the game very carefully. Inter have two very good forwards. We need to show discipline in defence. We’ve prepared several situations we think are suitable for Inter’s game.”
On the fans: “They’re the best – they’re fantastic. We have lots of fans that always stick behind the team. I really like the support they give us.”
