On the eve of the challenge with the Sassuoloscheduled for tomorrow at 3.00 pm at Tre Fontane, the technician of Rome SpringFrederick do you drive, spoke to the microphones of the club’s official channels. His statements:
The period of verdicts has begun. With a victory against Sassuolo Roma would be guaranteed of qualifying for the Playoffs. How important would it be to take advantage of this first match point in order to then dedicate yourself to achieving the best position in the rankings?
“It is certainly an extremely important match, also because it would allow us to reach the first objective of the season which is access to the playoffs with four days to spare. It would give meaning to our sacrifices and the improvements and above all to the performances that these guys were able to produce during the season. We know that we will have an extremely complicated opponent ahead of us, who are competing for access to the playoffs, with within their group extremely important players who were already protagonists last season. I am referring to Russo and Bruno, two players who last season were at the top of the scoring charts. This says a lot about what could be the difficulties we will face in this match. When we faced them, they always put us in difficulty, despite putting in positive performances. So maximum attention, especially if we are looking for what the quality of our game should be. Each of us will have to give our best and try to reach the playoffs, a result that would already be prestigious, especially with four days to go.”.
Obviously it is also a fundamental match for Sassuolo to continue their bid for the Playoffs. What attitude do you expect from our opponents?
“Sassuolo is fighting for access to the playoffs, they are a team that has always been at the top of the table. Last season too she was the absolute protagonist. I expect a Sassuolo that wants to play the match with great intensity, with great aggression. I know the coach and the staff very well and I know how meticulously he will prepare the match and above all the attention he will pay to every detail and therefore I expect a complicated opponent to face, who will have a very aggressive attitude and above all will try to capitalize, as is always been, every little mistake ours. Maximum attention will be needed and above all the ability to read game situations with great concentration.”
In the first leg Roma lost at the end of a very good performance. Now the team matches performance with results. Is this the best victory for you?
“Absolutely yes, because in the first leg we played a truly beautiful match. For continuity, quality and fluidity of play it was among the best performances of the season. Despite this, it wasn’t enough to achieve a positive result, also thanks to the skill of our opponents in capitalizing on three of our naiveties which cost us three goals conceded. The team has improved a lot in this aspect in recent months. The testimony is the latest performances. By now the team is playing with great continuity, they are playing with quality. Within the context of the team, individuals are emerging and above all for me and my staff there is great satisfaction when it is the performance that determines the result and not the mistakes of the opponent or the skill of an individual. Through teamwork we want to bring out the qualities of the individual and above all we want to be the ones to determine the result. And now it’s happening. It is a mentality that must belong to us, also because I believe this is the mentality that is needed to project our players into professional football.”
