“I’ve already won the Europa League three times. It’s a very important tournament and the winner gets into the Champions League next season, so it is crucial to do well,” said the former Tottenham defender in his Press conference.
“We must start well from the first game tomorrow, playing focused for the entire 90 minutes. We’ve got a lot of matches coming up and it’s important to start on the right foot.
“Viktoria Plzen played in the Champions League and Europa League. They’ll be highly motivated in facing an Italian side, but from the start we need to take the initiative and get the three points.
“These are my first few months in Italy, but I am happy in Rome, we have a competitive squad and my teammates have been good to me. I am trying to work hard and learn Italian.”
Roma have struggled defensively so far this season, beating Sampdoria 3-2 at the weekend, so what is the problem?
“It doesn’t just depend on the defence, we have to work as a team. There are 11 of us on the field and we need to move together, attacking and defending.
“The Coach told us we have to win this competition.”
