AS Roma forward Mohamed Salah says playing at Roma is more difficult than playing with Fiorentina, following his side's superb 2-1 Serie A win over reigning champions Juventus.
Second-half goals from Miralem Pjanic and newly-signed Eden Dzeko gave Roma a vital home win over Juventus, who managed to pull one back late in the game through Paolo Dybala.
Salah started the match and was substituted after 77 minutes, after putting in an average display against their Turin rivals.
"Playing at Firorentina was easier than playing at Roma," Salah, who joined Roma on another loan spell from Chelsea, told BeIN sports after the game.
"At Fiorentina we used to sit back and play on the counter, thus offering me more space.
"But at Roma, it's the other way around; opponents now sit back and deny us space to attack into."
Salah, 23, has yet to open his Roma account in a competitive game, having scored twice in two preseason friendlies.
