MILAN – Roma got the win last night at the Dall’Ara stadium against Bologna thanks to a first half goal from Nainggolan after 37 minutes of football played.

Following a number of stories which have appeared in the Chilean media, David Pizarro wishes to stress the following: “I definitely did not refuse a call-up to the Chilean national team. Head coach Jorge Sampaoli simply made different choices. I am and remain 100% available to La Roja.”

The Giallorossi coach reflected on Roma’s 1-0 road victory over Bologna at the Stadio Dall’Ara: “This was a hugely important win for us tonight. We managed things well in the first half and scored a lovely goal, then after the break we had several chances to score on the counter. But tonight it went ok and it’s easier to work on improving when you’ve got the three points”
