Coach Roma Eusebio Di Francesco told about the goals for the next season and the transfer policy of the club.
Eusebio Di Francesco answered the questions of the press service of Roma.
About the first season in Rome: I was happy in Rome, and I'm very proud that at the end of the season the fans approached me and thanked me for the work. This is just the beginning of the road, but I think we managed to sow optimism in the souls of our fans. But we must continue to work, as competitors do not slumber.
On the most memorable match of last season: Domestic fight against Barcelona in the Champions League was incredible! But I can not fail to note also the away victory over Napoli and the draw against Chelsea in London.
On the tasks for the next season: Roma will fight for the championship title. At least, I hope that we will be among the participants in the race for the title. I consider our main competitors of those who finished above us. Juventus has victorious traditions, I really want them to appear in Roma. To achieve this, we must first of all use our strengths.
About work in the transfer market: The transfer market is not yet closed, therefore it is too early to assess the transfer campaign. Our sports director Monchy works hard. The composition of our team is good, but we must not forget that we could have the opportunity to carry out painless rotation. Ideally, I would like to have two equivalent performers in each position.
On the departure of Nainggolan: This was a mutual decision.
I have an excellent relationship with Raj, and humanly, I can only wish him success in the new team.
On the arrival of Pastore: He can play in the center with a scheme with three midfielders, can play under the attackers - this will give the team tactical flexibility, which we were previously deprived of. His skill will be especially useful in matches against teams that prefer to act on defense.
