These are the words of Paulo Fonseca’s press conference on the eve of the Verona-Rome match
The coach’s difficulties also include making decisions in an open market. Will Kumbulla play? Who will be the center forward?
For the center forward we will see. Kumbulla only trained yesterday and is not ready to start today. We have a different way of playing than Verona. But he’s a very smart guy, he understood what I said.
Could Kumbulla be a first indication of the market strategy of the new owners? With the youth policy there will be years of waiting: are you willing to embrace this project?
Yes, I agree on this line. We are working to buy young players, but we can mix with the more experienced ones that we have here. I like this project.
The desire is to invest in young players. When he got here he said he came to win. Are you ready to accept this project?
I agree with this line, we are trying to bring in young players but we also have very experienced players here. We can do a mix but I like this project.
Can Karsdorp become an owner or is it an emergency solution?
Tomorrow he will play and stay with us because we have faith in him. She has done a very positive job these weeks, she is willing to help the team because this year she will stay with us
Have you ever played with a player who has been around for 48 hours like Kumbulla?
I do not remember. It depends on the situation, if I don’t have other power plants, Kumbulla can play. It is not easy for a player to play after arriving two days before because he does not know what the team does, how we play but it can happen if I have no other alternative.
How difficult will it be to choose the training for tomorrow? Are you satisfied with the performance of the company?
It is not an easy market, we are all working together, with Guido and the president, to find the best solutions. It is true that some players have to arrive and we need to arrange some exits
Have you decided to bet on Pau López again?
See you tomorrow
With the arrival of Milik and the departure of Dzeko, is Roma getting stronger?
Dzeko is here with us, he will be at the game tomorrow. There is no point talking about this change now
He said he would do anything to keep Smalling. Are you still confident?
Yes, I am confident. We are working to have him with us, I am in contact with Smalling, I also spoke with him yesterday. The player wants to return here and we want to take him back, I hope that in the next few days he will be with us again
How much do you think you have learned from Italian football?
Very. In the rest of the leagues there are not many teams playing like Atalanta or Verona, I have to understand that playing against teams like this is very different, we have to adapt. I think we played two good games for Verona last season and we won. It will be difficult but we must understand that this will be a different game
Will it be played at 3 or 4?
We are ready to play with two systems, even starting with one and then moving on to another
In both games with Verona, Roma had less ball possession.
It is not easy here in Italy to have the ball against Verona. We have to get out fast when we get the ball back because they are very strong when they lose the ball. They react very strongly, with individual goals and it is more difficult to do what we usually do in a match. But we have to adapt to play differently against Verona
