Roma coach Garcia praises debutant Cole

Roma played a friendly in Indonesia on Friday, defeating the Indonesian Under-23 team 3-1 at their base in Trigoria with Garcia sending out three different line-ups for 30 minutes each.

But Cole, who signed from Chelsea on a free transfer on July 7, did enough on debut to earn some praise from Garcia.

"I liked the attitude of the new players like Cole and [Salih] Ucan," Garcia was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

"They stepped on to the field with confidence."
