Roma, Di Francesco: "I hope we show more determination in the return leg. I fully believe we can achieve a comeback."

After a long evening at Anfield ended with Roma allowing 5 goals to Liverpool, the task ahead of them to advance to the Champions League Final is extremely difficult, even with two away goals scored by the giallorossi in the closing 11 minutes. Eusebio Di Francesco was interviewed afterwards, and asked if he believed in his team to overturn the tie next week: "Yes, otherwise you shouldn't play the game. Anything can happen, It won't be easy, it will be different than against Barcelona. We made it to an important stage but we didn't have a good showing. We prepared for it well, the formation is relative, if you lose challenges and you can't make a pass 5 meters. The performance by the defense? You don't anticipate the midfielders losing the ball. The defenders have to defend. Manolas has to not commit but to reverse himself. When you play against certain teams you have to reverse a little earlier. We have the desire to overturn the result, we must believe in it and I fully believe. I hope I see a determined team in the return leg."
