Leandro ParedesRome’s midfielder spoke to Sky Sport’s microphones after 1-0 defeat against Az Alkmaar, a match valid for the seventh day of the Europa League championship phase. The Argentine midfielder expressed his regret for the result and underlined the need to improve, especially in the away races.
With this defeat you cannot get to the round of 16 and therefore you will avoid the pre-offs. Why this step back?
“Sorry this result because it was a chance to qualify directly. Now we have to play the playoffs, so we have to improve, because so we will not go far. We have to do what we do at home even outside, this is the step we have to take”.
The improvement that is not seen away is precisely that of conceding goals in transition. In the goal immediately, even, they were only four in the area against six opponents, therefore the umpteenth restart that surprises Rome.
“Yes, it is something we have to improve, it is our flaw. Unfortunately it went like this and, as I said before, we have to improve because it is not good so”.
The disappointment in the locker room is perceived. The team seems in crisis in recent times, especially at the Olimpico.
“Yes, surely, sorry because we came from good games, even outside the home, as in Milan. Even at home we made excellent games. Come here and make this performance very sorry”.
Two questions. One, the difficulties, especially in the first half. Then, with the entry of Soulé, if you manage to manage the ball a little better. And the other is personal, your future when will we find out?
“In the first half we struggled to find spaces and keep the ball. I think that with Matias’ entrance we kept the ball a little more, we created a little more. But it didn’t help , so you have to think about what we have to improve and put it in place as soon as possible.
