PARMA ROMA INTERVIEWS FONSECA – All statements by coach Giallorossi, Paulo fonseca, On the occasion of Parma-Rome, match valid for the 27th of A league.
Fonseca to DAZN
Let’s start with the episode, in your opinion, was there rigor?
It was important to score before Parma. We entered the race well, we had a situation with Dzeko. The first time they got on the door they scored. A team that wants to go to the Champions League cannot concede a goal like this. They scored and closed.
Were you a little tired?
I don’t want an alibi, we can’t concede a goal like this. This changed the game. They scored and took control of the game. We conceded a goal and it took us a lot to create. For me it was a matter of concentration, that goal, and when we make a mistake it is difficult, and when we concede it, it changes the game. It is true that in the first half we handled the ball, all the players came down and it is difficult if we do not play fast.
Slow ball circulation, didn’t you think about inserting Cristante first?
We did it. Ibáñez also put quality, then we changed, but he played almost every game, it was difficult for him to play from the beginning. After the team it was better
Does Rome have a problem with the concretization of the attackers?
No, I don’t think it’s a problem for attackers. Dzeko worked hard today, he made good plays, but no good balls came, it was difficult today. It is not a Dzeko or Mayoral problem, but a collective one.
What did you say to your players after the game?
Nothing, normally I don’t speak after the game, with a few exceptions. I go home, watch the game and the next day we talk about it. Immediately after I don’t talk about it, I wouldn’t want to make an unfair analysis. First I have to review the game, I want to be fair to the players.
Fonseca on Roma TV
We saw his disappointment at the end of the game, today a lot of lost points …
Yes, we have lost three important points. I did not expect this result today. We knew that Parma needed all three points, so we couldn’t afford to concede a goal before we did. We failed a defensive concentration, the first time they went to goal we made a mistake and that changes the whole game. They went down and it was more difficult for us. At first the team reacted, but without the speed and attack aggression that we needed and then at the beginning of the second half we fit.
Fatigue? Was the game underestimated?
No, I don’t want an alibi. There can be no alibis for this team. There must always be great motivation. It was not a lack of attitude, but a lack of concentration. We cannot score goals like this if we want to go to the Champions League. We knew it was important for Parma to win and we wanted an open game, but after the first goal they closed and it was difficult.
We have won 12 corners, couldn’t a short exchange be found to move Parma’s defensive line?
Our team is very strong on corner kicks. Even today we win balls in the corner and then we don’t score, against a team that is missing a man, we have strong men in duels and we win balls. We missed the goal, but the team is strong right now.
In these cases, when fatigue and lack of clarity makes itself felt, what is the solution?
We changed, Bryan for example had played every game and not today. Same for Diawara. It’s hard to change more than that. The boys fought but they did not do things well. It is not about desire but about defensive concentration. This goal changed everything.
Were you convinced by the referee’s decisions?
It is not because of the referee that we lost, it must be clear. But the second penalty is not there. With Roma we do not see Var in situations of doubt. I can also accept Pellegrini’s, but you must see it in the Var. The same is true of its rigor. 2-0 at the beginning of the second half we are almost out of the game. With the rest of the teams there are always doubts and the Var is seen. And at the end of the season there are 5-6-7 points for the others and 5-6-7 points less for Roma. I want the same treatment for Roma as for the rest of the teams, who are not here today.
Fonseca a sky
He won’t be looking for excuses, but Roma looked tired and distracted. I do not care also in the speed in the changes of field
Yes, it is true that we did not have offensive speed. I don’t want excuses, a team that wants to finish fourth should not have deficiencies but must have motivation. It was a difficult challenge because we conceded goals immediately, we lacked concentration and the game changed. Parma needed these three points, they fell and it was difficult for us. He lacked speed and defensive concentration.
How do you rate Dzeko’s work? Cristante disappeared?
Yeah, we got better when Cristante came in. He played almost every game, we needed to have fresher players but it is true that when he joined we improved. Dzeko worked, made the movements but the ball did not go well. He did what he had to do, he helped the team on defense but I think the team didn’t help the forwards.
Has Shakhtar’s fatigue been felt?
A team that wants what we want cannot be lacking, but it must have motivation. We had little concentration on the first goal which then hurt us throughout the game. They got off and we had no solution to attack this small team.
Didn’t you feel protected by the Lega before the postponement of Juve-Napoli?
The company did what it had to do. If there is a regulation, we have to follow the regulation.
