Di Francesco believes his team has the required personality to step up to the plate and 'kill' the game.





"I always want the team to play with personality," Di Francesco explained in an interview with Roma TV, as quoted by Football-Espana.





"The idea is to kill the opponent’s game, the mental aspect is important; you have to show that you want to dominate. That’s the signal to face Barcelona, we need to show everything we have," he added.





"If we’re on our game we can take on anyone, every team you face is different but your mentality is the same. If you face teams that defend and don’t try to play much it’s normal that you can dominate with the ball, but not everyone allows you to do that," the coach concluded.

"Every game has a story of its own and we need to change our attitude if necessary. What’s important is to be on our game in both phases, that’s what we lacked when we had that drop-off, we weren’t beautiful in the sense that we weren’t compact. It’s a great satisfaction to be in the quarterfinals , we’re very happy because it’s an objective which hasn’t always been achieved," Di Francesco added, before signing off.
