Luciano Spalletti feels Roma “did everything possible” on the transfer market and hopes the team can get over its psychological issues.

The Giallorossi beat San Lorenzo 2-1 in a friendly this evening and the Coach thought it meant more than simply the proceeds going to earthquake victims.

“It has a very important significance, because it gives back that sense of unity without people pulling to one side or the other for personal gain,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

Luciano Spalletti feels Roma “did everything possible” on the transfer market and hopes the team can get over its psychological issues.

The Giallorossi beat San Lorenzo 2-1 in a friendly this evening and the Coach thought it meant more than simply the proceeds going to earthquake victims.

“It has a very important significance, because it gives back that sense of unity without people pulling to one side or the other for personal gain,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“Winning is a little helpful so that in future we don’t black-out at the first sign of difficulty. We must realise that Roma are an important club and we should be happy to have this extra responsibility.

“It can happen that we are swept away by the importance of a situation, but we must react, always. The ability to react must be our first quality.”

The transfer window has shut, so is Spalletti satisfied with the squad at his disposal?

“The club did everything it was possible to do. I am fine with this squad. Clearly if incalculable situations like too many injuries enter into it…

“I have the option of pushing Alessandro Florenzi further forward into a trident attack.”

Daniele De Rossi was stripped of the captaincy after his red card against Porto, so how long will this situation last?

“Daniele knows the rules and with me, for example, if someone takes his shirt off to celebrate after a goal and gets booked, he will be fined.

“De Rossi doesn’t have the armband for three games and he accepts that with the calm and intelligence of a champion because I want everyone in the locker room to know they must obey the rules.”
