Roma attacker Stephan El Shaarawy was interviewed by Roma TV at full-time of the Giallorossi’s win over Slavia Praha.

In his post-match interview, El Shaarawy highlighted some key factors that have contributed to their recent positive record.

“We gave a convincing performance tonight,” said the Italian forward. “We didn’t make any mistakes, we came with the correct mindset which was the main thing the coach asked of us.”

“We started strong, with great pressure and scoring a goal straight away. Then we put the pressure on and scored the second one. We are happy with how the evening went.”

“The difference is our willingness to sacrifice despite fatigue. We showed great team spirit and dedication, which is why it’s a great victory. Now we have an important match on Sunday.”

“We know how much trouble Inter can cause us, especially at their home. We will need to put in a great performance, but we are ready and we must continue to work well.”
