Roma coach Jose Mourinho was delighted with Tuesday night's 3-0 win against Cremonese.
Paulo Dybala struck his first two goals for Roma, with Roger Ibanez also finding the net.
Mourinho later said on Dybala: “Last season, when Juventus played here at the Olimpico and he was substituted, I told him: 'You're very good, kid.' So tonight I said the same thing. We smiled because we remembered he was already scoring in this stadium.
“You often get talent that is isolated within the team, but Paulo is a great talent who plays with and for the team. Even though he wasn't built for this, he helps out in defence with extraordinary work.
“He has a history of injuries, but he's improving now. I think this is a sign of what is to come in Qatar for the World Cup. Maybe Lionel Scaloni should send me a few bottles of wine, because he's going to have a fantastic player at his disposal."
Mourinho also said: “It was a more difficult match than the result might suggest. Monza created problems for us with their possession, we had to press in a different way. Monza are a very interesting team, we kept our balance and we're slowly getting there.
“I am glad people are talking about Ibanez, as he's one of those lads who I can see has changed. He's more calm on the ball, finds solutions for the pass, he doesn't just automatically give it to the wing-back now."
