Pjanic: We need to keep the buzz going

“We did a great job against a very good side,” the Bosnian midfielder said at the end of the game. “It was a fantastic match and a great Roma performance – we deserved to win once again tonight. We need to keep the buzz going and keep the tempo up. The best team won tonight.”

A brace from Mohamed Salah and one each from Stephan El Shaarawy and Diego Perotti saw the Giallorossi secure their seventh straight Serie A win on Friday night, strengthening their grip on third place at the expense of Fiorentina.

“We played well in all of the six wins before this. There are no easy games in Serie A. We’re doing well and we have the right determination and desire. We need to keep it up,” continued Pjanic.

After such a good Roma performance, the mind starts to wander to Real Madrid on Tuesday.
“It’ll be a tough match. Now it’s time for us to rest up well and prepare for Real with the coach. We’ll need to pull off something special against Madrid – we’ll try to go for it and whoever plays will give their all.”

Your performances seem to have improved under Luciano Spalletti.
“The team is really organised and we’re feeling refreshed. We work really hard and we’re reaping the rewards of that in the league. We’re doing a great job and we’re really happy with Spalletti.”
