Roma centreback Diego Llorente gets the start tonight as the Giallorossi face Fiorentina in the Artemio Franchi stadium.

In his pre-match interview with DAZN, Llorente spoke about the opportunity to face his former teammate, Andrea Belotti, who will also start for Fiorentina tonight after completing a loan move away from Roma in January.

“We know he is a great player. We know him, he knows us,” said Llorente who returns to Roma’s starting line-up after a few appearances off the bench.

“When the game starts there are no friends, the most important thing is to win. Once the match is over, we will be friends again,” he added.
