The Giallorossi clash with the Blues on match day three of Europe’s elite club competition next month.Spalletti has hailed ‘Big Phil’ and the Chelsea man repaid the compliments as both managers shared their excitement ahead of the big date. In true Scolari fashion they began by joking around before moving to the big talk.
“Good luck Chelsea,” said Spalletti, which then brought a reaction from Scolari who replied, “Arrivederci Roma.”
Both coaches then began speaking about Group A’s most anticipated fixture as they begin cranking up the tension.
“Scolari is a great man,” said Spalletti.
“It was so nice to be involved in the manager’s forum with all the other coaches and it has made me appreciate the human qualities of top tacticians like Scolari.
“He has won everything and when you speak to him about football you always learn something new.
“Chelsea are a great team and we have to work hard from now until October 22nd in order to go there and face them.
“Scolari’s team can be intimidating but we will go there with courage and the will to do well.”
It was then the Chelsea boss who spoke of Roma and he admits that he admires the Giallorossi and their coach.
“Roma are a team to be feared and Spalletti is an excellent coach,” said Scolari.
“I know Spalletti well and we are good friends. I like talking with him because he has humility amongst many other qualities.
“I have seen Roma play and you can tell the coach has interesting ideas and I believe they will go far.”
The Giallorossi have a poor record against English teams in the Champions League but they will be hoping their luck changes on October 22nd when they travel to Stamford Bridge in search of three points.
