The giallorossi are currently fifth in the Serie A table, one point off fourth-placed Lazio and as many as 12 points adrift of table-toppers Napoli. They have topped their Champions League group though, finishing above both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.
Di Francesco has conceded defeat in the title race. He said: “We don’t have the quality to fight for the title. We are back we must try to do our best to improve the situation in the standings . In this period we have done badly, but first we have become protagonists of good things. We have a match to recover and everyone's desire is to get back on track.
“Until 20 days ago we were a revelation and we had done very well in the Champions League. We are not like that in the first half against Atalanta. We will work in a positive manner. We must have balance and I must be the first to bring the team back to the levels of some time ago. "
Speaking of Nainggolan, who was seen drinking in a recent Instagram video. The Roma boss said: "Radja was the first to apologize and stand next to our fans in the stands against Atalanta. We made an ethical choice, now let's move on."
