ROME – First big game of the season for Roma Paul Fonseca that tomorrow night in the olympic stadium he will face the Juventus from the new coach Andrea Pirlo. This afternoon the Giallorossi coach answered the journalists’ questions to present the match against the Bianconeri.
Roma-Juventus is the match that Dzeko could play with the black and white jersey. Have you talked to Dzeko? Do you see him motivated?
“Yes, I spoke with Dzeko several times. He is very motivated and has trained very well. He will play tomorrow.”

Can Kumbulla play a regular?
“They will ask me about tomorrow’s players. Tomorrow’s team will be: Mirante; Santon, Mancini, Ibanez, Kumbulla, Spinazzola, Veretout, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan, Pedro and Dzeko.”
Verona-Roma, did you ask Dzeko to come in and he refused?
“Is not true”.
Can Mkhitaryan be a false nine?
“I liked him as a false nine, but when we have a forward like Dzeko there is no point in thinking about using the Armenian as a forward. It can happen if we need him, but our forward is the Bosnian.

How is your Rome in the second year?
“From last year’s first game to Verona I can say that the team is better.”
How many players are missing from Roma?
“I’m totally focused on tomorrow’s game, I don’t want to talk about the transfer market.”
The Smalling situation?
“Twenty-four hours after an important start, I am only focused on this one. It is a difficult, important game, we have worked a lot in the game. I have confidence in tomorrow’s players and we only have to think about Juventus.”
Roma expect a big hit from the Friedkins
I spoke to Friedkin, what is your goal for the season? Is the team equipped to achieve it?
“I talk to Friedkin every day, we are working to make a stronger team. The goal is to do better than last season.”
What are Bruno Peres and Karsdorp like?
“Bruno trained with us this week, he’s not ready from the beginning. Karsdorp worked individually yesterday, but he’s not ready.”
Will it be an aggressive Rome?
“We don’t want to change our identity just because we play with Juve. We want to push hard, but also be balanced. Juve is very strong, we have to be balanced. We will only push when we have the opportunity.”
Pirlo: “The Suárez case did not affect us in the least”
What changes in the midfield with Pellegrini?
“With Pellegrini we can go out faster and have a man closer to attack.”
What Juventus do you expect tomorrow? Did you see any difference with Pirlo?
“Juve has a young coach, with a great future. It is a more dynamic team, with different movements and I liked them a lot. They push hard, mainly on the wings.”
