Roma, Di Francesco: ‘Not my decision to sell Dzeko’
Our reporter Marco Demicheli is following the press conference of Di Francesco.
“Everybody is eligible to play tomorrow. Every player that I have right now is contracted with Roma and everybody is focused on the Sampdoria game. As of today Dzeko will start tomorrow but I have to talk to him. We’ll decide together what’s the best thing to do. He is a player of Roma and I think he must play if he is fit. De Rossi? He is not likely to play tomorrow.”
“Schick and Defrel could replace Dzeko but at the moment he is our main striker. I think about what Monchi said last week and I can only say that transfers are decided by the club. In the future [if Dzeko leaves] we could sign a new centre forward of a winger.”
“I never run away from problems, managers can’t discuss about certain issues sometimes, it doesn’t matter if I agree or if I don’t agree [with Dzeko’s sale], I am the manager of Roma and I’ll cover this role till the end.”
"Schick can be a good replacement for Dzeko but must be more determined and have more self-confidence."
