“Roma are a good team, they want to win but we are playing at home, we need to give our fans a victory.”
The recent loan arrival from Aston Villa then praised his new Coach Sousa and described his own attributes as a player.
“The Italian League? I knew it was difficult, I thank Fiorentina for this opportunity. Sousa is extremely prepared, he always takes care of the details.
“I win the ball back a lot, but I can also dictate play. I don’t score many goals, but they matter a lot!”
Finally, Sanchez added that while Juventus may be favourites to retain the title, Fiorentina are one of a number of teams who will be breathing down their necks.
“Juve are favourites, on their shoulders there is a big group of which we are one.”
