Ivan Juric previews Fiorentina-Roma: “A victory tomorrow is essential.” | OneFootball

Roma head coach Ivan Juric spoke to reporters on the eve of the match against Fiorentina.

In his pre-match press conference, Juric said, “Dybala and Pellegrini are fine and in excellent condition. Let’s hope they improve on finishing and scoring goals because Lorenzo should have already several goals to his name.”

“He’s been unlucky,” he added.

“Mancini is doing okay, let’s see. For Soulé we will have to see how he’s doing today,” Juric continued.

“The team has taken the right path in many things. To win matches you have to be more aggressive in front of goal and not lose concentration.”

“Fiorentina? They’re a great team with lots of quality, but it is essential for us to get a great victory tomorrow.”

“Hummels? I choose based on who is doing better in training, I don’t look at age or curriculum. If Hummels were to play and not Hermoso, you would ask me why Hermoso is not playing. It’s a technical decision on my part.”

“I want to congratulate Zalewski on the match against Dynamo. He played an excellent game, also from a mental standpoint. He’s shown he’s not a kid anymore.”

“El Shaarawy? We hope to have him back in a couple of games from now. Same for Saelemaekers, I hope to have him back soon.”

“We have gone further on many things but we need to rebuild the idea of ​​feeling stronger as a team. We must shown pride and courage. If the players improve, the team will improve too.”

“In some aspects the team has gone beyond what I expected. All that is missing is the focus to win more games. I aim to improve every player to make the team stronger,” he repeated.
