Roma boss Fonseca delighted with thumping win against Istanbul Basaksehir

Roma boss Paulo Fonseca was delighted with their 4-0 win against Europa League opponents Istanbul Basaksehir.

Nicolò Zaniolo created one for Edin Dzeko and scored another himself for the rout.

Fonseca said, “The game with Lazio was very important for us, as it helped us understand what we were doing wrong and we did a lot wrong in that match. We talked about the performance and told the players we had to be more aggressive, keep control of the ball, and the team is learning that.

“I am very happy with the progress made and the way they are playing now. The passing lines are very important and we need movement to open up the channels, to provide options.

“I am feeling confident, because all the players have understood what I want. They are open to my ideas. It's important not to concede goals, but we are doing particularly well in attack at the moment."
