Roma beat Sampdoria 4-1 and their manager Eusebio Di Francesco was satisfied with the performance, as he explained to Sky Sport after the match: "On set pieces we tried something, we knew we could become dangerous. When you score these goals you just have to go to a position and wait for the ball to arrive. The team is growing, the important thing is the mental and physical aspects, the youngsters are getting better. Certain players are emerging again, like Cristante. There is time to do even better.
"Schick? He has to continue to work, this goal will give him confidence and strength, this is an important aspect I am very happy for him. For me he can play anywhere, when you have that kind of quality you don't have a precise position. Defrel? He is a great player, clearly there are certain environments that help you grow, he wasn't a central striker and he became one with time: I am happy for him, also because we won 4-1. El Sharaawy? I am happy even with him, he is demonstrating great continuity in the matches in all phases of the game. Tactically he is very disciplined and has great sense."
