Gianluca Mancini spoke to DAZN about reuniting with his former teammate Edoardo Bove a few minutes prior to kick-off with Fiorentina.

“The Franchi is a difficult stadium and anyone who comes here has difficulties,” said the Roma defender.

“Fiorentina have a strong team, their stadium makes itself heard. I always prefer to play at the Olimpico, but you have to be good away from home too.”

“Bove? Edo is great, he was with us, I saw him as a boy and he left as a man. We all love him and what he is doing shows us that he can do well in different roles.”
