Pinto: Roma are trying to integrate Mourinho and the whole team face Juve hoping to respond

Live bar January 10 news According to the Football Italia network reported that in the early morning of Beijing time on the 10th, the 21st round of Serie A will start a focus battle, with Roma hosting Juventus. Before the match, Roma sporting director Thiago Pinto hoped the team would "give an important response" tonight.

At the end of the 20 rounds, Roma are temporarily 7th in the table, three points behind the Bianconeri, and if they can win at the Olympic Stadium today, they will tie Juve, who are temporarily in 5th place, with 35 points. Especially in the case of a 6-2 victory in atlanta in this round and a 41-point points in one game in the next game, this game is not to be lost for the two teams that still hope to compete for the fourth place.

In an interview with DAZN, Pinto said: "I agree with everyone in the studio. Both teams have the potential to do better, but the challenge we face now is to take more points in the second half than in the first half. This is our challenge. Facing a strong opponent and a great coach, we have a responsibility to respond. This is also what everyone expects of us. ”

Pinto also talked about the value of his team, admitting that Roma should be higher in the table. He said: "We've talked about it before. We're trying to bring all the parts together — a fantastic coach, a team that's worth so much. ”

Asked if there was any update on the introduction of Sergio Oliveira from Porto, Pinto declined to disclose. He said: "Maitland Niles can play today. We have set our strategy and goals. I'm waiting for what to do over the next two weeks to complete our winter window plans. ”

Speaking about what role Maitland Niles, who joined on loan from Arsenal just two days ago, will play under Jose Mourinho, Pinto said: "In his career, he has played both the left and the midfield. In today's football world, everyone must understand how to play more than one role well. He'll help us play right-back, but he can also play as a midfielder. ”

The two teams met in the first leg of the season, with Roma losing 1-0 away to Turin. Back at home, they look forward to revenge.
