Spalletti delighted with first Roma win

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was delighted with their 3-1 win over Frosinone.

It was their first win of 2016 and crucially the first since he took over from Rudi Garcia. Radja Nainggolan, Miralem Pjanic and Stephan El Shaarawy grabbed Roma's goals.

“What struck me was how emotional the lads were in hugging each other at the final whistle, as if a weight had been taken off their shoulders. That shows me what psychological condition the team was in," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“We tested movements in training, then during a match situation we couldn't do the things we were capable of.

“Tonight I saw three goals, some more good scoring opportunities and also a wise control of the game. At that point we saw the pleasure of a team playing the ball, because they felt the result was safe and the pressure was off."
