“Di Francesco works very hard on the pitch on a tactical level,” El Shaarawy said in a Facebook Q&A.

“I’ve already said, the things he asks from his wingers help me. They’re all things that are already part of my repertoire, and he’s also great on a human level.

“When you go onto the pitch, the boss asks you to respect the roles which have been assigned, for example [Aleksandar] Kolarov, who he tells to stay wide.”
