The former AC Siena player has gone on to state his confidence that the Giallorossi will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season under Zdenek Zeman.
AS Roma fans can be forgiven for not getting into the pre-season hype that is surrounding the club for the 2012/13 season. There was a similar air of change expected last year under the guidance of Luis Enrique, who became the Il Lupi manager after quitting
the position of the head coach at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B team.
Luis Enrique took time to gear his players to the new footballing philosophy that he wanted to incorporate in the team. The style of play expected by Luis Enrique is not perfected in a single season as he tried to adopt the Barcelona style of play into the
club, and the players struggled to cope with the sudden change in tactics.
The newly appointed manager, Zdenek Zeman, has openly criticised the style of play Roma were playing last season, and remarked that there was no point of passing the ball back when you were deep into the opposition half.
Zeman has been an astute and experienced tactician and guided Pescara to promotion from the Serie B to the Serie A. The football played under Zeman was lauded by many as the best in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, along with Juventus.
The transfer of the former Siena star proved to be one of the biggest and longest sagas of the summer; and the Azzurrini star finally chose Roma over all the other interested parties. Juventus and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan were the other clubs interested in his signature.
The young striker went on to state that he was confident in his side’s ability to perform well, and remarked:
“We will certainly have a great season. If we are in good shape in February and March, then why not challenge for something?”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, who were eager to sign the player for
the upcoming season.
