Zappacosta: Chelsea pals Emerson, Rudiger talked up the Roma fans

Roma signing Davide Zappacosta admits their opening round clash with Genoa may be too soon for him.

Zappacosta has arrived from Chelsea on-loan for six months.

He said this morning: "Today I did my first training with the team, I feel good. At Chelsea we played the same training, very intense. Not playing for a while, I have to get back in the rhythm, but I feel good.

"With this rhythm I don't think there will be problems in finding the right condition as quickly as possible "

Zappacosta added: "I talked to Emerson and (Toni) Rudiger. They told me the support is able to drag you and that I would enjoy this group. I immediately found what they told me was true. I was lucky enough to win the Europa League. Of course we aim to do the maximum in every competition."
