Luis Enrique buzzing after Roma defeat Cagliari

AS Roma coach Luis Enrique was buzzing after their victory over Lecce.

The Giallorossi created numerous opportunities, but only scraped the 2-1 result against Lecce, partly because Pablo Daniel Osvaldo's spectacular overhead kick was incorrectly ruled offside.

"I am satisfied with both performance and result, which I think was very slender considering all that we created," said the Coach.

"You have to put the ball in the net for it to count, but I saw the team is improving. Knowing how to suffer under pressure is also an important quality.

"It's a terrible shame for Osvaldo, as he played a very complete game today and I am told the goal was valid. It was an incredible finish.

"Erik Lamela is very young, but he can get past his man and is an important player, so we hope in future he can become an incredible player.

"It was very important to win tonight and confirm the progress we made against Novara," continued Enrique.
