Before the Europa League match between Nice and Roma at home, Nice captain Dante accepted an interview with a reporter from camel.live.
On facing Roma
Dante said, "The importance of the match? Every match is important. Of course, starting with a home win is always better. What we need to find in the team is the ability to show a solid performance – a team that stays focused, cooperates as a unit to ensure we don't concede goals.
What's my impression of Roma? It's a very strong team. If I remember correctly, they have been active in European competitions for the past ten years. This team has excellent players, a strong personality and a profound football culture. Every year, they can build a solid and high-quality squad. This year is no exception, and they also have an excellent head coach. We all know that we will face a strong team tomorrow, and we must go all out to deal with it.
Will a coaching change bring changes? No, I don't think it will change much. Because even with a new coach, the team may even become stronger given the strength of the players. However, the key still lies with the players. They always have top-level players with rich experience, and many of them also play for their respective national teams. Obviously, their experience in this competition is far better than ours. Nevertheless, we must make good use of our home advantage and play a wonderful game."
