“In Florence, it really wasn’t our best performance. In the last 2-3 games, we have conceded too many goals, we need to do better”, stated the AS Roma goalkeeper.

AS Roma is bracing for their away game in the Europe League, where they will face Union Saint-Gilloise. The Roma goalkeeper, Mile Svilar, speaks at a press conference on the eve of the European challenge. Here are his words. “How do you view the situation from the door? Will you play with Belgium or Serbia?” “The first thing is that we’ve been a bit unlucky, but we have to do better. We are adapting, it will get better very soon and from tomorrow we want to win to lift our spirits. “I cannot answer you on behalf of the national team.”

Do you feel the responsibility of being one of the key players? And on referees?

“I feel normal and try to focus on my job day by day to win matches, and we need it.” As for the incidents, I’m not sure, there have been many unfair ones against us, like on Sunday when the second should’ve been annulled. Unfortunately, it was not the only one. At times, we feel as though everything is against us, but this is not a nice sensation. We must focus on what we can control. “If you think too much, you’re even less focused.”

“Would you have left Anderlecht so soon? How do you see your career?”

“When I go back to Belgium, I always ask myself this question, but I’m no longer focused on the past, only on the future.” Pellegrini had said that you should look each other in the face and tell the truth, did that happen? “Yes it happened. We talked with the coach and we do it every day. In Florence, it was terrible, it wasn’t us. In the other two matches, we bounced back strongly. “But on Sunday, there were incidents that we cannot control. Now, we only focus on playing and improving.” SVILAR ON SKY SPORT

“This is my home; I was born here. It’s incredibly special to be here and participate in such a crucial game.” “You’ve conceded many goals, in the last two away games in the championship you’ve received 8. What’s your opinion?” “In the last 2-3 matches, we’ve conceded numerous goals, but this was not the case before. “We’ve been a bit unlucky, we have to do better.”

Worried about the league standings? “No, in my opinion we have to think from game to game, to win, get ourselves mentally prepared, and keep moving forward.” SVILAR ON ROMA TV

“It’s wonderful to be back home. I’m excited to play this incredibly important match.”

What work have you done in these hours?
“We’ve done some fine tuning, we’re ready to face a strong opponent tomorrow. We must do our job, focusing on what we can control.” “How do we psychologically handle this moment, even for the episodes?” “It’s tough, but a few days after the last match, you have to disconnect and think about the next one, which is the most important. In Roma, you always have to try to win. It’s difficult at the moment, but we need to stick together and do better.” What have you been saying amongst yourselves? “We talk every day. We are a strong group but at this moment, we must let our victories on the field speak for themselves.”
