Vucinic Is In Great Form - Conti

fount : goal.com



The Giallorossi played their first match of pre-season against the Romanian giants but were clearly short on match fitness, falling to a 3-1 defeat.

Despite a relatively disappointing display, Bruno Conti was pleased with the 90 minutes work.

"Roma held up well,” the 1982 World Cup hero told Roma Channel.

“We showed a little bit of fatigue but it was still a good performance.”

Moreno, Stancu and Neaga put Steaua 3-0 ahead before Mirko Vucinic grabbed a consolation with an absolutely stunning free kick.

“The goal of Vucinic? He is in great form, and he scored his free kick in exemplary fashion,” explained Conti, before then commenting on club captain Francesco Totti’s recovery from injury.

“Totti? The captain is working on his recovery, he was also working before the game."

Totti snapped his anterior cruciate ligament during a match against Livorno at the end of April, and had to undergo surgery. Er Pupone is being tipped to return in time for Roma’s Italian SuperCup clash with Inter at the end of August.
