Roma's coach Paulo Fonseca spoke in his post-match press conference following the 3-1 away win against Hellas Verona-
“We got the win because we had a great attitude and real team spirit. We were up against a side that defends well and shows a lot of aggression in defence. We didn’t move the ball well, but our attitude was excellent and that’s really important against this type of opposition.”
“The team has improved a lot in defence – defensive balance is really important for us. When you have that security, the team has more confidence going forward. Defending well is crucial for us.”
“We want to dominate more and keep hold of the ball. I really like it when the team plays in the attacking half, but that wasn’t possible against Verona because of the kind of side they are. We worked on finding the space, because when you’re playing against a team that presses aggressively the key is to focus on playing quickly. I want us to play football that enables us to be close to the opposition’s goal.”
