Quotes
“I was very upset. We played really well against Dynamo Kyiv three days ago. Today I saw very little focus, very little attention," Roma manager Ivan Juric said after his side's defeat to Fiorentina.
"I saw lots of bad things. I didn't like our attitude, especially defensively. I decided to change things, both to shake them up and to give them a signal. But for a technical reason: I saw things I didn't like. Not just from those two [Bryan Cristante and Angelino], but from the whole team.
"We'd conceded five goals in seven games, giving away very few chances, having a lot of the ball, and trying to improve in attack, which is where we needed to do better to pick up more points in these games. Tonight we got everything – the whole team did. There are no excuses. There's very little to say right now.”
Head-to-Head
Roma secured a 3-2 win over Torino in their last league meeting on 26 February at Stadio Olimpico.
The Yellow and Reds are enjoying a six-match unbeaten run in the league against the Maroons having won four matches and drawn two.
