Frederikke Thøgersen’s approach against Como 1907 paid off: “We told ourselves we had to prove we were the league leaders.”
Certainty under Coach Luca Rossettini, certainty also with the replacement of Coach Gianpiero Piovani as Roma coach: this is the portrait of Frederikke Thøgersen, one of the Giallorossi players who performed best last season and best embodies the instinct and desire to win that distinguish the league leaders. The number 25 was interviewed by the club's official channels following the away match against Como 1907, which the Roman side won by a resounding 4-0.
A curious result in some ways, given the strong performance of Coach Mazzantini's newly promoted teams from the start of the season until now, but it's worth noting that Roma dominated from the first to the last minute and, as a result, managed the game and its energy levels perfectly. The Dane is confident the group played an excellent match: "We put in a great performance on a difficult pitch. We showed respect to a team that gave everything. Before the match, we told ourselves we'd go and show them that we're still top of the table, and that's what we did. I'm very proud of that."
Both teams went into halftime with the score still 2-0 for the visitors. Despite being up by two goals, the Roman squad further consolidated in the locker room to put together a textbook second half: "We told ourselves to maintain possession of the ball a little more when we could, because there was space; even though the pitch was narrow, they let us play. In the second half, we managed the space well."
At the end of her comments, her thoughts inevitably turned to the next match for Roma, which will see the Dane and her teammates engaged in a decisive match against Servette, hoping to keep alive their dream of continuing their European campaign: "We want to try to do our best in the Champions League. First and foremost, we want to put in a good performance, and then hopefully get some points!"
