“I like Fonseca,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia. “He makes the team play.

“He has an excellent team, but he has had injuries, the players who give something extra have been missing.

“There was the problem with [Edin] Dzeko and he paid for it, they wanted to hurt themselves.

“But he’s doesn’t know how to defend very well, and the weakest point is the goalkeeper.

“Even though he has been the saviour lately, he’s not the strong point. The goalkeeper is like a striker who scored many goals, he must perhaps make the decisive save.

“But I believe in this Roma, hopefully they will reach the semi-finals.”
