Spalletti confident they will bounce back

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was disappointed with their 2-1 defeat to Cluj in the Champions league on Tuesday.

The Italians took an early lead at home in Rome, but lost the match 2-1.

Spalletti  told the press after the match: “We did somethings good and some not so good.

“We were not organised while they were good and a little lucky, the problem was that we became anxious and that’s when things started getting complicated.

“Some players played well like Riise but some like Baptista didn’t. However, they all did ok.

“I am happy that the players have realised there is a problem and we have to take action. We were a little shocked but we can recover.”

Christian Panucci is also confident they will bounce back from their poor start to the season.

“First of all we need to find ourselves again. Once we achieve that, we have the quality to take on anyone,” said Panucci.

“There’s no point giving up after one defeat. We take responsibility and it’s time everyone pours everything they’ve got on to the pitch.

“One must also praise Cluj, who played the way they had to in an away game and were strong defensively, taking advantage of our errors upfront.”
