Di Francesco says Madrid not feeling Ronaldo’s absense

ROMA Coach Eusebio Di Francesco, believes Real Madrid have “the highest quality in Europe” but “we’ll try not to change our mentality”.
“Real Madrid are the team with the highest quality in Europe,” Di Francesco told El Pais.
“That means they don’t make many mistakes, as is the case in general in Spanish football: they have the ability to keep the ball with ease and they don’t make many mistakes.
“They have a way of working together that makes them seem even stronger than they are.
“This year they play more as a team and are more compact. They seem to press more consistently.
“They have a great mentality, they switch off less, and they didn’t even do that much with [Zinedine] Zidane. Now they’re much more consistent in imposing their game.
“Cristiano Ronaldo? He solved many games for them in the past, but the team isn’t feeling his absence.
“They have players with quality, six starters for the national team. They’re like Juventus last year, who had the foundation of the national team.
“What’s more they have a player who offers impressive security: Sergio Ramos.
