Liverpool play host to Roma at Anfield in the Champions League tonight.
Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco addressed the media yesterday, ahead of his side’s Champions League clash with Liverpool tonight, and shared what worries him about facing Jürgen Klopp’s side, as quoted by Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato.
The Reds have been quite simply breathtaking going forward this season, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane thrilling fans up and down the country.
The Serie A side will certainly have their work cut-out at Anfield tonight, and they will have to be at their very best if they are to have any chance of returning to the Italian capital with anything to show for their efforts.
Di Francesco spoke to reporters yesterday, and claimed that he is very similar to Klopp, whilst highlighting what worries him most about facing the German’s side, as quoted by Italian publication Calcio Mercato:
“We are very similar. I like his football philosophy a lot and I’m happy, however, at the same time, I’m worried about facing a coach with this mentality. He has already shown much more than me.”
If the Reds display the kind of application and quality that they showed against Manchester City in the previous round, Roma could be in for a tough evening on Merseyside, but after their heroics against Barcelona, they should not be underestimated.
