Di Francesco praised El Shaarawy as Conte wasn't very pleased by the result...

31 ott 2017

Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to Mediaset Premium after the Roma-Chelsea game, here is what he had to say: "We knew we were going to have to suffer but we knew that we would hurt them if we played our game. We are growing but we have to keep on improving in the future. First place? I believe in working hard and the players are now understanding what I want. Florenzi?He asked me to take him off since he was very tired. He played a great game but we can't forget that he is coming off a big injury...".

A whole new El Shaarawy? " He is working hard and he is always present during games. I like that fact that he moves a lot and he cuts in the box which led to two goals tonight. If he can keep doing this then we will certainly have an advantage...".

Antonio Conte then added in a short interview with the press (via the Dailystar): "It wasn't fair to end the first half two nothing down since we had done better than what this score shows". Conte did not seem too pleased as his Chelsea team will now have to bounce back as soon as possible.
