Roma, ex-Shaktar coach Lucescu: "It will be an even match. I've always known that Cengiz Under was good, he only needed time to settle in"

After going back to winning ways in the Serie A, Roma prepare themselves for tomorrow's Champions League match against Shaktar Donetsk. Current Turkey coach Mircea Lucescu, who was in charge at Donetsk for twelve seasons, believes that "it will be a vey even match. A few weeks ago I would have said that Shaktar were the favourites, but now Roma have put their bad performances behind them", says Lucescu to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Roma have some great players; in Serie A only Juventus and Napoli have a better team, maybe. Under? He's no surprise to me, I've always known he had these qualities. I spoke to Di Francesco and he said to me that he counts on him both for the present and for the future. He had to overcome pressure and to settle in, but now it's his moment ".
