Preparing for Roma..

Hellas prepare for our first away game of the season.

After the emotion of the Milan game has died down, thoughts turned to a big trip to the capital to face rivals Roma. As Verona ultras are 'twinned' with Lazio, this is a hostile game and one we should approach in a professional manner.

Coach Andrea Mandorlini is considering continuing with the 4-3-3 that worked against Milan, or to revert to a more defensive 4-4-2. The counter-attacking against the Rossoneri was possibly the biggest positive of the win, especially with Martinho's pace down the left, so keeping the trident but with a more defensive and less-buckonering approach against Roma could be the most sensible solution.

After tactical training for much of the week, Bosko Jankovic, creator of Luca Toni's winning goal, had this to say "We are facing a team with momentum Milan didn't have, a different approach and a more difficult game. Against Roma I am motivated, I scored twice at Marassi against them. Their approach? They are one of the most complete teams in Italy".
