Roma President James Pallotta says he’s ‘proud’ of the Giallorossi after their draw with Juventus last night.
Rudi Garcia’s men had a man sent off and went behind to a magnificent Carlos Tevez free-kick, with the Bianconeri seemingly set to go 12 points clear.
However, Roma fought back to secure the draw, and the club’s owner says he’s proud of their efforts.
“For the first 60 minutes we didn’t play well,” Pallotta conceded as he spoke to reporters after the game.

However, Roma fought back to secure the draw, and the club’s owner says he’s proud of their efforts.
“For the first 60 minutes we didn’t play well,” Pallotta conceded as he spoke to reporters after the game.
“In the last 30, with a man less, we pushed hard and had them under the cosh. I’m proud of this team, because they managed to come back and draw with a man less.
“At first it wasn’t going well, but then when we started to play in the last half an hour I thought we could win.
“There are a lot of teams in the world who, if they were a man down against Juventus, would surrender. Most teams would give up and go home, but we battered them in the last minute.
“Anything can still happen, we drew too many games and had a lot of injuries. The same could happen to Juventus.”
The American patron also dismissed rumours that Rudi Garcia could leave at the end of the season.
“Why would he not be our Coach? Rumours? What rumours? Have you heard this from me?
“I decide. Come on, it’s ridiculous. He’s had to deal with so many injuries, and change formations so many times.”
