"I expect more from our leaders as they have always helped us a lot in the past season. We have to work and improve. In the second half, we improved even though the end product was missing in the final third.

 

"Zaniolo? I see his qualities. Today he did some good things, there is nothing better than fielding young players in games like these. I think he did well throughout the game. 

 

"They all made it difficult for us, we were lacking a bit in quality and this will have to change. Now we have to focus on the league as well," Di Francesco concluded. 

 

Roma will face Bologna this weekend, which won't be an easy game given their poor run of form.
