Roma face Chelsea tomorrow and Coach Rudi Garcia is looking forward to a reunion with Eden Hazard.
The two teams clash in a friendly at the RFK Stadium in Washington DC. It kicks off at 20.00 local time.
“Jose Mourinho is a great Coach,” said Garcia at a Press conference when asked if he liked being compared to The Special One.
“I don’t care what people say now, but what they will say at the end. It will be a tricky game tomorrow against a great team with great players. I like this match, as it will be possible to have a better idea of where we are.”
Roma beat Toronto FC 4-1 in a friendly this week, while Chelsea finished second in the International Champions Cup after beating Inter and Milan.
“Every game is different. Even if they are friendlies, it is important to play well and try to win. It doesn’t matter if Chelsea won or lost other matches, as for us the only thing that matters is tomorrow’s game.
“We certainly have a good squad with important players, but they are also humble and intelligent men. There are no problems.”
Garcia will also encounter Hazard, who shot to fame under his guidance at Lille.
“Eden is a strong player and still young. He can improve a great deal, but had a marvellous season with Chelsea. I am very happy to see him again. It will be important to defend well in his zone.”
Roma will take advantage of their trip to Washington DC by visiting the White House later today.
