Ivan Juric analyzes Roma’s 1-0 loss to Elfsborg: “I’m not throwing everything away tonight.” | OneFootball

Roma manager Ivan Juric analyzed the Giallorossi’s defeat to Elfsborg by 1-0.

In his post-match with Sky Sport, Juric remarked, “I don’t agree that the performance was negative.”

“The team did a lot of positive things. I saw a completely different game: we did many things well.”

“Sometimes games go like that and we accept it. But I didn’t see a bad performance or confusion on the pitch.”

“However, there are things we must improve on; even in situations of superiority we are not aggressive enough.”

“We created and moved the ball well, creating opportunities,” he added.

“Tonight we created chances with Pellegrini and others, there are details to improve. I saw much more play and occupation of spaces.”

“There are things in the final meters to improve, we also need to be better in not conceding on counterattacks. It’s a negative result but I absolutely don’t want to throw everything away.”

“I have a squad that has quality and I have to get the best out of it. We definitely have to improve many things, but then we’ll see in the future.”

“Today we made many steps forward in terms of play, in some ways impressive in my opinion. Thinking about what’s missing from the squad is counterproductive.”

“Soulé? In my opinion he is a guy who works hard, who has quality. Maybe at the moment he is not able to express all the talent he has. He shows himself, he does not hide, it means he does not suffer from pressure.”

“He is a player who spent a year in Frosinone, now he is in Rome and we need to be calm and work on him. For example, in the positions today I liked him more. I am very confident about Soulé.”
