Spezia coach Thiago Motta: I'll select a team to beat Roma

Spezia coach Thiago Motta says he'll choose a team to win against Roma on Sunday.

Motta says he'll select a XI to exploit the weaknesses he sees in the Roma team.

He said, ""Every game is a different story, it didn't go well in Bologna, but we know there are many things we need to improve, starting with time and ball management.

"The important thing for us now is to find the continuity we've shown at the start of 2022. We will face an important team, built for Europe, but we will play in our stadium and we will do our best, trying to bring the challenge on our side, doing our best to deserve a positive result.

"Kovalenko is training well, obviously, it is a difficult moment for him and for all of us in the world. History has taught us that wars are to be avoided, so let's hope that the situation evolves in the best possible way. For our part we will try to be as close to him as possible, he has all our support.

"The choices I've made have always been based on the moment and the game we're facing, to do it in the best possible way. Bourabia is a midfielder who has always trained to the maximum, there are no preclusions: we still have one more training session before the game to assess which will be the best team to deploy."
