Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma's coach, spoke in the post-match press conference after Atalanta-Roma 3-3. The Giallorossi took an early 3-0 lead in the game - only for Gian Piero Gasperini's side to roar back in the second half to claim a share of the spoils.
Roma seemed to have made the step-up but today the team showed two sides to their game: “Good question. In the first half the players did everything we had worked on: we knew that they tend to commit numbers in attack and leave it one-on-one at the back, so we decided to play very directly. I can’t fathom what went on in the second half and it’s not the first time this has happened. "It’s something to do with the mental attributes of this team; we still need to work on this. Today we saw that the team hasn’t fully recovered yet. Full credit to Atalanta, but if you’re leading 3-0 you can’t ever let it get to 3-3.”
