Ravanelli hails Roma impact this season

Former Juventus striker Fabrizio Ravanelli is impressed by AS Roma's campaign.

Roma have pushed champions-elect Juventus hard this season.

"I've been slightly surprised by both teams," he told Radio Onda Libero.

"But Conte is a great Coach and continues to be hungry for success despite everything he's already won.

"But for me, Roma have been the revelation. I think everyone expected Napoli to be the team pushing Juve.

"But instead [sporting director Walter] Sabatini made the right choice in appointing Garcia.

"At the start of the season he changed a few things and brought the group together - but also adapted to the Italian way.

"They've been unlucky to come up against an amazing Juve, but I think they can start a cycle of success."
