Post-Roma press conference: Solet and Runjaic

Defender and coach reflect on Monday's win over the Giallorossi

Oumar Solet and Kosta Runjaic took questions from the media in the wake of Udinese's 1-0 defeat of Roma.
 
Here's what they had to say:
 
Solet: “It was a difficult game, as they all are. We played really well against a great team, as we did against Napoli and Inter. It was a good performance.
 
“We're better than we were before. We'll see how we get on one game at a time and see where we end up come the end of the season.”
 
Runjaic: “We're very happy with this win. It was an excellent performance, especially in the first half. We did what we worked on during the week. We wanted to press high and keep Roma away from our goal and we managed to do that. We wanted to be more balanced in possession, which is something we didn't have that Inter. We played well and had some good chances. 
 
“It was to be expected that Roma would go all out in the second half and they caused problems for us, but we battled hard, dug in and held on, with everyone giving their all. When you're up against teams like this you need a bit of luck too. [Maduka] Okoye pulled off a magnificent save at the end but we deserved to win. It was decided by the small details, as it so often is in Serie A.”
