The Champions League's back and Di Francesco should change Roma's lineup. "Balance is fundamental - has said Di Francesco during the press conference - We need to continue what we're doing, especially the team's attitude". Attitude first, then the tactical system because of injuries.
De Rossi's out because of a knee injury. Kolarov will get some rest "because he wanted to play the derby, even with a broken finger". Santon should play on the left side, as he's in a very good moment right now with Florenzi on the right side, and Fazio Manolas in the center. Regarding the midfield, it should be the one that was on the pitch at the end of the derby game. Nzonzi as a defensive midfielder, Pellegrini and Cristante as mezz'ali. "I've worked a lot with the 4-3-3, like I'm now doing with the 4-2-3-1 - has explained the coach - If you watched closely, you'd have seen we switched to a 4-3-3 in the derby after Cristante came in". It should then be tomorrow's system with Dzeko Under and Kluivert (fighting with El Shaarawy for a starter position) to complete the lineup.
Roma (4-3-3): Olsen, Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Santon, Nzonzi, Pellegrini, Cristante, Under, Dzeko, Kluivert (El Shaarawy)
