Roma, Ivan Juric for the Europa League plans turnover

These are the words of Roma coach Ivan Juric on the eve of the challenge against Sweden's Elfsborg in the Europa League: "We have recovered the ground after getting off to a bad start, but we want to do well in Europe as well. My intention è to use as much of the squad as possible to be always fresh, travel is paid for and we have to be lucid in our choices”.

“Elfsborg è an aggressive team, which knows how to play well and tomorrow will definitely be a battle – continued the Croatian -. There are many difficulties, but this is not the time to lower the level, the desire of the group to get out of a negative moment must be maximal. Tomorrow è a great opportunity to strengthen the group and our mentalityà, I do not want to see underestimation".

“My intention è to try to use as much pink as possible to be always competitive and fresh. We have to be lucid in our choices. I want to change something in the formation, but not too much. On Hummels we have to decide, Angelino will recover soon enough, he is doing great, Dovbyk è a little tired and we have to decide whether to start him from the beginning or during the match".

Finally, a thought on Oscar Hiljemark, coach of the Swedes, with Juric admitting how he was "a very good player I wanted at Genoa, a great professional. È easy to have a good relationship with him", he concludes.
