ROME (ITALPRESS) – “I don’t really miss anything, I feel the trust of the society. I could stick to excuses, but that would be weak. We have to get to the game and eat our opponents. We have to win games because everything here is top notch. I don’t like this trend, I want to see badness even if we don’t play well.” These are the words of Roma coach Ivan Juric on the eve of the Europa League match against Dinamo Kiev. “For me everything is important, tomorrow’s match is crucial – added the Croatian coach in a press conference – Clearly, the way the last few years have gone, the club has the goal of going to the Champions League. We don’t underestimate anything and I think all the players are capable of performing at a high level.” “There is the will to do better, but right now we don’t have the winning mentality,” Juric continued, “In the last 17 games Roma have won only three, that means it’s not the right mentality. I see positive performances however in the end the victory does not come. I think there are the conditions to work well, the rest are excuses and we need a complete change of register and mentality. Already from the challenge against Dinamo Kiev I expect a higher will because when you are in such a negative situation, you need the strength to react. Certain mistakes are no longer acceptable. Right now we are not what Roma needs to be, which is a team that wins games. Results are not enough.” As for Dybala, tomorrow night “he will not start from the beginning, we have to manage him.” Instead, Mancini is in doubt due to a feverish attack that could force him to forfeit. Joining Juric in the conference is striker Tommaso Baldanzi. “I feel good, I managed to do all the preparation. We face a strong and intense team, it will be a difficult match, but we want to get the first three points in Europe because we need them – admits the former Empoli man – Inside the locker room we think about the matches and playing the best. We understand the curve because it’s not a great moment. Now we have to make great performances to bring them back to our side.” Finally, on Soulè, Baldanzi stressed that “he needs time to adapt. He has great qualities and can do very well.”- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
