Roma were superior throughout the entire 90 minutes at the Olimpico against Slovan Bratislava. The Giallorossi won 4-0, and the Slovakians never seemed capable of getting back into the game. Yaya Touré, the visiting coach, spoke about the match in the capital at a press conference. “We had prepared very well, it was disappointing because we could have done better, but instead we were passive.
