The newly appointed Giallorossi coach has stated that the team strategy is his first priority, and he will adjust the role of the captain accordingly.
Zdenek Zeman has stated that he is yet to make his decision on how to use http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940, and has revealed that team plans have had the most of his attention so far.
The Giallorossi veteran is aged 35, and performed the role of central striker for his team in the previous season.
Zeman admitted to the quality of Totti, and reminded that the captain is the only player that is still in the Maggica squad from his previous tenure at the club, thirteen years ago.
The former Pescara coach also stated that he has witnessed Totti’s growth as a player, and seen him turn into an ageing star, and insisted that the respect of the veteran will always remain with him.
However, the Giallorossi coach maintained that the he is yet to formulate a team strategy for their upcoming season, and insisted that all the players in the squad will get a role with respect to that planning.
While talking to the press, the 65-year-old said:
“Totti and I were together 13 years ago and that is a long time. I’ve seen him grow, but Totti is always Totti for me. He may not be what he was physically, but that is only normal. It’s too soon to talk about his position as I need to evaluate what we do
as a team first. I have to do what is best for the side.”
Zeman was called in to manage AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 after Luis Enrique chose to resign from the team, and the new coach has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders to bounce back from the dismal performance of the last season.
The Maggica chief refrained from talking about mistakes of the past, stating that he cannot comment on things that happened in the club when he was not here to witness them.
The Giallorossi manager went on to stress that he plans on taking AS Roma back to its former glory, and insisted that he wants his team to compete with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, AC Milan and Juventus in the next season for the Serie A crown.
