Ivan Juric explains team selection prior to Udinese kick-off

Ivan Juric spoke to Sky Sport minutes before his coaching debut with Roma.

The Croatian technician was asked about the team’s starting eleven for this evening’s must-win game.

“Koné out of the line-up? We want to change the way we play. There are some players who are responding better. He is a good player with lots of talent, but right now we need different characteristics for the way we want to play today.”

“Hummels and Hermoso? They are a little behind, but we will have many games and they will have their opportunities to play. This is why Angelino is here today.”

“El Shaarawy? At the moment we don’t have many alternatives and he has shown that he can play on the left.”
