Roma, Di Francesco: "We were part unlucky, part underperforming. Dzeko? It was his choice to shoot the penalty."

Following Roma's 2-1 defeat to Torino in the round of 16 in the Coppa Italy, coach Eusebio Di Francesco expressed his displeasure to RaiSport: "It's not the first penalty that we have missed. It's unfortunate because we created lots of chances, and the statistics were in our favor. We were unlucky but also it's our fault for not doing better in front of goal. Dzeko the penalty taker? Not automatic but he felt he could score it so he took it. It was important to advance the round and we really wanted it. We're upset because of the game we played we still didn't advance. If we really played a poor match I would be worried. But if you look at the opportunities, El Shaarawy's shot, the penalty, it could have gone better for us."
