AS Roma Defender Marash Kumbulla: “We Will Have To Start More Proactively Against Inter” | OneFootball

AS Roma defender Marash Kumbulla has said that his team will need to start the game against Inter more proactively than they did against Lecce in the Coppa Italia on Thursday night, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.

Speaking to Sport Mediaset after the 3-1 victory over Lecce at the Stadio Olimpico, via FCInternews, the former Hellas Verona centre back said that the team started poorly and fell behind so thy had t increase the pace of their play.

“We started the game slowly so then we tried to increase the pace.”

The win over Lecce and Inter’s 3-2 win in extra time over Empoli means that the two teams will face each other in the quarter finals of the Coppa Italia.

Marash Kumbulla is aware of the fact that AS Roma can not afford another sluggish start when they face Inter in the next round.

“Surely we will have to start the game in another way with a more proactive attitude. Now let’s think about Sunday’s game then we’ll think about the cup.”

The last time the two teams faced each other, Inter had a 3-0 lead in the first half at the Stadio Olimpico.
