Roma in all competitions after firing a blank in
Wednesday's 3-1 win over Udinese.
Roma coach Rudi Garcia is "not at all worried" about Edin
Dzeko's barren run, insisting the misfiring striker will start
scoring again soon.
Dzeko's scoreless run extended to eight matches in all
competitions for Roma, who consolidated top spot in Serie A
with a 3-1 win over Udinese on Wednesday.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international striker - recruited from
Manchester City on an initial season-long loan in August - has
not scored since Roma defeated Italian champions Juventus
two months ago, but Garcia has thrown his support behind the
embattled frontman.
"The goals will come for Edin – I'm not at all worried about
that," said Garcia, whose Roma stayed two points clear of
Napoli at the summit.
"He needed time to find his rhythm again after a spell on the
sidelines through injury and that's why I left him on for the full
90 minutes tonight.
"It will help him get his energy back and be first to the ball –
even just a centimetre ahead – and stick it away.
"Dzeko is an all-round player and he showed that today. He
does more than just score; he helps his team-mates to play as
well with his first-time lay-offs.
"Playing like he is, he'll soon be back among the goals. He just
needs to keep calm."
