“Pisilli? He’s an incredible talent, he can do better because sometimes he runs too much and loses his proper position. He can play further forward without any problem,” the Croatian coach stated.

In a closely fought victory, Roma triumphed over Dinamo Kiev, thanks to the penalty shot goal by Dovbyk, securing their first 3 points in the Europa League. Europe claims its first victory with Ivan Juric who was interviewed at the end. Here are his words.

JURIC SPEAKS TO SKY SPORT

Roma’s first victory in Europe. What’s your assessment of the match? “There were moments when I really liked the team, and others not so much. “There’s still a bit of uncertainty, but overall, considering the opportunities, we deserved the victory. In the end, we managed it very well.” When you regain the ball, sometimes you make the wrong choices. “The aggression has been optimal during this period, even against Inter and Monza. However, we fall short at the moment we regain the ball, which is the ideal time to strike the opponent. We will strive to improve.” “Could you tell us about Le Fée? When will we see Hummels? “Le Fée really appeals to me, he can do much better than what he has done today. He’s intelligent, sensitive. I see Hummels akin to Ndicka, the last man in defense. Currently, the defense is performing well, Ndicka is making a name for himself and now has the upper hand. “Hummels is an incredible professional and he will have his opportunities.”

Baldanzi played a game that was very fast and dynamic. The momentum is building with every game. “He’s direct, plays good football, targets the goal – fundamental in his role – but also implements intelligent defensive strategies. “We have so many young people, Zalewski is doing incredibly well, so is Kone. They can still grow a lot.”

Satisfied with Pisilli? “He’s an incredible talent, he can do better because sometimes he runs too much and loses the right position. Everything is new for him, I enjoy coaching him. “He senses the space, controls the ball forward, possesses humility. He can easily play further ahead.”

JURIC IN PRESS CONFERENCE

Did you see the growth you wanted to see also in mentality? “I saw many positive things and many to improve. Game dominated with goal opportunities, corners, possessions. “We did well, in the end, we deliberately lowered ourselves to maintain possession, and that phase also went well.”

“How important was Le Fée?” “We needed the win.” He has everything to get better, it was the first game after the injury, he can do much better and he has the intelligence to learn. I have a lot of confidence that a player like him can significantly improve. “Today he played a decent game, with some errors in passing that are not usual for him, and he will certainly improve in the future.”

“It’s odd that Hummels never played: is there something beyond the tactical reason? How do you see it?” “I see him in Ndicka’s position, his attitude is that of a top-notch professional. I also have to thank him for his behavior.” He never misses a beat, not a single training session, he is a great person. Now, I see him in Ndicka’s position. When it comes to defense, I prefer not to make many changes and to provide assurance. Ndicka is really strong now. “His moment will come, he will lend us a big hand. If he hasn’t played, it’s my fault, not his.” “On Pisilli’s Position.” “He can play both as a midfielder and as an attacking midfielder. He has great skills and staggering potential like others. Sometimes I will use him in the middle, other times further forward. “Why has Paredes disappeared from Paredes’ rotations?”

“He also tops in training, but I have to make choices in that part of the field.” Today I put Le Fée in the game; I can’t let everyone play. Kone played a fantastic match, he’s improving and he needs to play. “It’s a technical decision that I make with great regret,”

Is there a player you prefer over others at Dinamo? “There are many good players at Dinamo, you are leading with many points ahead. “Even the lost matches were undeserved, I have a soft spot for Shaparenko, he is a player of excellent quality.”

“What did you say to Cristante at the end of the match?” “He is a great professional, intelligence beyond normal, he sees things others do not see.” “With him, you can engage in profound discussions about football, he understands things in a crazy way. He has done good things, then I would explain where I think he can improve, but this stays between him and me.”
