Eusebio Di Francesco admits he and Roma are going through a tough time but his sole focus is to guide the Giallorossi through to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Roma were dealt a hugely damaging 3-0 derby defeat by rivals Lazio on Saturday, putting Di Francesco under pressure ahead of a European second leg against Porto in midweek.
This has been pinpointed as a key game for the head coach, yet he is keen for Roma to take centre stage as they seek to defend a 2-1 lead in Portugal, setting aside his personal fortunes for the time being.
I would like to draw attention not to Di Francesco, but to Roma, he told a news conference.
My thoughts do not go to myself, but to my boys, for Roma to play a great game. It s not Di Francesco s game, but the players…
Mauricio Pochettino praised match-winner Noni Madueke’s determination to prove his Chelsea worth after he came off the bench to score a late penalty in his side’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Roy Hodgson’s side looked like they had done enough to earn a deserved point as the game ticked into its final moments, until the result turned after a clumsy challenge made by Eberechi Eze, leaving a leg out on the edge of the box for Madueke to tumble over.
A pitch-side VAR review was required but it seemed a straightforward call for referee Michael Salisbury, who awarded a penalty from which the substitute Madueke, who had previously made only seven league appearances under Pochettino, coolly stroked home the winner.

I will speak well with my agents and my parents at the end of the season. And we will make the right decision.
Those are the short and sweet words of RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano who has confirmed that he will wait until the end of the campaign to make any decision on his future however, for clubs that are interested, they ll almost certainly be getting to work before that.
The belief is that Chelsea manager Frank Lampard wants to overhaul the Blues defence during the summer transfer window, and in the wake of their performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League earlier this week, it isn t all too hard to see or understand why.
Upamecano is said to be Lampard s primary target heading into the summer and while there are likely to be more tha…
