After tying CSKA Sofia at home, Roma returns to the Olimpico to take on Fiorentina in Serie A play. Here are manager Paulo Fonseca's remarks leading up to the match.
"We are taking on a very strong team, they had an important market acquiring quality and experienced players. They have many solutions, they play very well and it'll be a difficult match. The team is in shape, we know ourselves well compared to the past, we have confidence in our play. We grew with respect to last year."
"The objective is to do better than last year, clearly Inter and Juve are the scudetto favorites. We are a little short in defense, I already decided the three that'll play tomorrow. I am happy with how we're expressing our play, we have players that can keep the ball, we go out well from our defensive area, we really improved a lot. A new Sporting Director? I think about the pitch, I don't want to talk about this aspect any longer."
