Roma, Di Francesco:”How do you stop Messi? That’s a good question”

While attending the Panchina d’Oro award to recognize the best manager in Serie A (which Allegri won) Eusebio Di Francesco was asked about Roma’s upcoming matches against Barcelona:”How do you stop Messi? Good question, hard to answer. We have to prove it on the pitch. Against Barca it will be a brilliant challenge, we’re satisfied and happy to be there, but we won’t go there for a walk. Face Barcelona like Mourinho back in 2010? No, I don’t think like that. We can’t lose our identity. Even though they can lower us with their great passing, but we can’t just wait for them, we must get to their side of the pitch”
