Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco says he and Edin Dzeko are fine after victory over Hellas Verona.

Dzeko struck twice for the 3-0 win, having complained he was too isolated in attack during the week.

Di Francesco said, “Dzeko scored two goals, but he could've had two or three more. I am calm, as we cleared the air with Edin straight away. The media try to find problems where they don't exist.

“I continue to say we had a very good first half against Atletico Madrid, we struggled once our fitness levels hit problems, but it was a good performance.

“The physical improvement also means the ball is moved around faster. I sacrificed Gregoire Defrel for many games, playing him out of position, and that created even more issues in building moves.

“Scepticism is part of the job and it will always be there at the first sign of a negative result. I want to remain positive, inspire the fans and get them enthusiastic about coming to the stadium. Our philosophy must be to create, entertain and attack the opponent always."
