Roma defender Manolas insists no special plan for Salah

Roma defender Kostas Manolas says they have no special plan for Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah next week.

The first-leg of their Champions League semifinal will be held at the Olimpico on Tuesday.

"We won't man-mark Salah, because we stopped Barcelona and Leo Messi with teamwork, so we can stop Salah the same way. It won't be easy, of course, but we are ready," said Manolas.

“Our belief this season comes from the philosophy of football that the Coach gives us. Roma must never change their way of thinking, no matter the opponent.

“Di Francesco is a very European Coach, he always asks us to dominate the game with pressing and intensity. It's also true that we ought to have another six or seven points in Serie A, but when we play in the Champions League, it does bring something more out of us."
