Roma, Di Francesco: "We want to maintain same mentality from previous games"

Eusebio Di Francesco and Radja Nainggolan spoke at the pre-match press conference before their game against Antonio Conte's Chelsea in the Champions League. Di Francesco: "I want the same mentality on the field like we had in the previous games. We are hoping to be more clinical in front of the net, but we have to continue on his path. News on Schick? He has had some trouble with his shooting motion during the last few training sessions. He has undergone some exams and they haven't shown any tears, but the pain is still giving him some trouble. We want to evaluate him properly. In this case, he won't be called up, but he is doing well otherwise. We will evaluate him for the game against Fiorentina. Fazio? I am happy about his renewal, as he deserved with his performances on the field. Formation? Certainly, we are ready and I could start the same starting 11 that was fielded against Bologna with Radja Nainggolan being a certain starter. Defrel and Manolas? After the training session, I will know if they will be available."

Nainggolan: "If we win tomorrow, it will be a big step towards qualification, but we will take it one game at a time. We are aware that we are doing well and we are enjoying every victory while looking forward to the next game. Chelsea? I don't care if we are playing them or another team because I haven't thought about anything else. I am ready to play."
