AS Roma doesn’t even have a direct shot at the goal. In contrast, Sevilla scored 10 chances and Dzeko blamed the coach’s tactics.

“They pressed us, we wanted to play the ball and that wasn’t possible. They only made a few passes and gave long balls from long shots,” he stated.

He admitted that the game built from behind did not work. He said the team should have used a long ball that directed the ball at him.

“Regarding the strength of this performance, we still have a long journey ahead of us. We have to ask ourselves some serious questions. I am disappointed because we did not play well at all, it was really disappointing,” he concluded.
