Roma’s players are on retreat for the second time this season. The giallorossi took this measure previously after the loss to Bologna and this weekend after the draw against Cagliari- it will last at least through the Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen.
The club has decided to hold the players accountable while manager Eusebio Di Francesco isn’t in danger of being sacked at the moment. The sporting area at Roma is firmly behind the former Sassuolo coach as well as president James Pallotta, this choice isn’t driven by a lack of worthy alternatives but rather because they believe in Di Francesco.
