Before the match against Inter, Roma GM Tiago Pinto spoke about the match. These are his words:

Is it in the difficulties that Mourinho’s hand must be seen? For us it is a joy as a coach, every day in Trigoria we understand why we took him. We have faith in him, but he wasn’t just taken to play the big games.

How did you see it? What emotions are you feeling? We are always very close, in seven days we made three matches and after Bologna it was time to regroup everyone to cope with the absences. But with the tranquility and responsibility of having a great game, with the serenity of our work that we always carry out.

What is the company’s position on Zaniolo? In the last 2-3 weeks I have been paying attention to Italian football. When we talk about Nicolò we are talking about the greatest hope of Italian football. Mou said you have to protect him, you can’t stop him like this without the referees reporting the fouls. It is not a speech of Rome and Zaniolo, it is a speech of Italian football. Rome and Italy do not want Nicolò to go away.
