Before the Champions League clash between Roma and Real Mardid, Italian side’s coach Eusebio Di Francesco expressed his thoughts on Real’s crucial line-up changes made this summer:
The results during the first few weeks of the season show that they are still strong. They have more quality with the ball; they make fewer mistakes and they have many leaders. They have very good players who are the base of the Spanish national team.
Di Francesco put the special praise on new rising leader Marco Asensio, claiming he’d be finest signing for Roma as well as any other top club:
Yes, I imagine him winning the Balon d’Or. I would like to have him because of his age, the quality he is showing, his ability to adapt to more offensive roles, and his talent.
