Fonseca: The Team is more Important than the Single Player

The Portuguese coach held a press conference ahead of Roma-Atalanta. The group is more important than a single player.

Paulo Fonseca is ready to face Gasperini at the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow. Although Roma has won the last three matches, the Giallorossi will face an offensive opponent who has been playing the same way for a long time.

“Atalanta has very strong players up front. We have to pay attention. The whole team is involved in the defensive phase. There are strategic issues I don’t want to talk about,” said Fonseca to the press.

The group is the most important thing for the Portuguese coach. Players must work together to achieve goals. “When I got here, I saw a group united and strong. All players are important, none is more important than the team,” stated Fonseca. “Roma is the most important thing, it’s above everything.”
