Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to Sky Sport after the win against Chievo: "We played well, although we did have a little bit of decline in the middle of the first half. We could have scored more goals but I hope we kept them for the very important upcoming game against Porto on Wednesday. Kolarov? I believe he asked the fans for forgiveness. For him there is no discussion regarding his professionalism and as a man."
It was a simple victory with respect to the previous games Roma has played: "It's easy to judge on the other side. During the game you can leave twenty minutes to the opponents and it's clear that in those minutes you need to be compact, we have been missing this at times. For example in Bergamo (against Atalanta). We have worked a lot on this concept, the first thought is to go vertical. It is clear that we can do better in the management of the games but I am happy with how the team approached the match."
