Roma coach Jose Mourinho was pleased with Tammy Abraham after victory at Atalanta.
“Of course he can score 20 goals per season, as he did it in England and I am not worried. We are not a team who dominate every game, that is impossible, and Abraham comes from a culture at Chelsea where his team always has the ball and controls the game," said Mourinho.
“A centre-forward for us cannot just focus on scoring goals, he needs to do other work too. It's important to have a reference point who wins duels with people like Palomino, Djimsiti and Toloi. Abraham has improved so much in that sense, I am sure he will score goals too."
Zaniolo was booked in the opening minutes but also scored his first goal of the season in Serie A.
Mourinho added: “It is important, but I always look at the things that might seem small and to me are important. He received a very early yellow card, so an emotional or unreliable Nico would get sent off. Instead, he kept his head, so I liked his attitude and emotional stability. even more than the goal."
