Roma coach Fonseca expecting tight Fiorentina clash

Roma coach Paulo Fonseca is expecting a tight affair against Fiorentina today.

The Giallorossi enjoyed a thumping victory earlier this season at Fiorentina, winning 4-1 at the Stadio Franchi in December.

Fonseca said, “We're not a team who man-mark, but we have zones where we must be more aggressive in the pressing. We changed our way of playing, but Fiorentina are in good shape too at the moment and just held Inter to a draw. It's going to be a very different game to December.

“The team is in good form, both tactically and physically, so we must try to keep improving on every level.

“We have to maintain the same ambition, as the team has found its confidence with this system. It's true that we don't have much time to train, but I do speak to the players and show them videos to correct errors. We are constantly working on situations that didn't go well the first time and we can improve."
