“The most important thing is to run harder than them,” said Di Francesco in his Press conference.
“Roma have great quality and are excellent when in possession, so it’s up to us to interrupt their flow as soon as possible and try not to get pinned back too deep.
“Sassuolo will play our game too. I ask for more consistency in attitude and performance. I see Roma as the absolute favourites, as along with Juventus they are practically in their own League, but Sassuolo aren’t beaten before we even start.”
The Neroverdi are on a club record seven-round unbeaten Serie A run and they are the only top flight team Francesco Totti has never scored against.
“Totti could well score, the important thing is that we bring home a positive result,” replied his former Roma teammate Di Francesco.
“Joking aside, Totti is an extraordinary player and he certainly doesn’t need a goal against us to know that.”
Francesco Magnanelli is suspended in midfield, while Thomas Manfredini and Gianluca Pegolo remain sidelined.
“Missiroli and Chibsah are the possible alternatives to Magnanelli, but I haven’t decided yet.”
