“Every game is different. [Claudio] Ranieri is working well, he is a great coach. I expect a difficult match.
“I would have liked a longer break, but we have to understand there was no time for it. We have many games ahead, it’s important to rest, but there is no time because of the pandemic.”
The new general manager Tiago Pinto is expected to be on the stands to watch the game.
“We’ve already spoken, now I am waiting for him,” Fonseca said.
Nicolò Zaniolo has divided Roma fans with a picture posted on social media that shows him dancing with his mother on the New Year’s Eve, standing on his injured knee.
“I don’t want to be involved in the players’ private life. I only want to say that Zaniolo is a great professional," Fonseca concluded.
