Roma focused on liverpool not just salah says eusebio di francesco

Eusebio Di Francesco, the former Roma manager, has made some interesting comments about the team's focus on Liverpool and Mohamed Salah during their Champions League campaign.

In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Di Francesco stated that Roma's focus was not just on Salah, but on the entire Liverpool team. He acknowledged that Salah is a key player for the Reds, but emphasized that Roma's strategy was to neutralize the entire Liverpool attack, not just one player.

Di Francesco said: "We didn't just focus on Salah, we focused on the entire Liverpool team. We knew that they have many players who can hurt you, not just Salah. We worked hard to prepare for their attacking threats, and we were able to limit their chances."

Roma's approach was indeed to focus on the entire Liverpool team, rather than just Salah. They employed a high-intensity press to try and disrupt Liverpool's attacking rhythm, and also made sure to mark Salah tightly to prevent him from getting too many opportunities.

Despite Roma's best efforts, Liverpool still managed to come out on top in the tie, winning 7-6 on aggregate. However, Di Francesco's comments highlight the importance of understanding the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and developing a strategy to counter them.

It's also worth noting that Roma's focus on Liverpool's entire team, rather than just Salah, is a testament to the team's tactical awareness and ability to adapt to different opponents.
