“We’ve had time to work in training and a coach always needs time to get his ideas across and create an identity for the team. This side plays differently to the way it did in the past and results have also given everyone more confidence.

“I like Parma, they are a solid team and very dangerous on the counter-attack with Gervinho, so it’ll be important we reduce the spaces for them to run into.”

Fonseca was also asked about the suggestion of the successful move to a three-man defense from ex-Roma director of sport Gianluca Petrachi.

“I like to discuss things with the directors, exchange ideas, but it was my decision after months of experience and getting to know the team well,” the coach answered.

Since January, Roma is going to have Tiago Pinto as a new director.

“It was a decision made by the President and had nothing to do with me. Tiago Pinto is a great sporting director, who comes from a big club, and I am happy.

“The important thing is that we work as a team, then we can all contribute to choosing what is best for Roma.”
