Garcia frustrated as Roma held by Feyenoord

AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia was left frustrated after a 1-1 draw with Feyenoord in the first-leg of their Europa League tie.

Gervinho struck for Roma, with Colin Kazim-Richards getting on the scoresheet for Feyenoord.

"We went too deep, did not press efficiently, although we still had chances to score other goals with Gervinho and Doumbia," Garcia told Mediaset Premium.

"The goal was offside. Now we have to score in Rotterdam. The team needs to gain confidence and take more risks going forward.

"We won't give up, it's a shame we conceded that goal, but at this moment we are lacking results. It's pointless making comparisons with last season. We are doing everything possible to get back to winning ways at the Olimpico, but at the moment hard work isn't paying off.

"We need to be more explosive, take risks more with our mentality than our legs."
