Meeting Highlights…LACK OF GOAL
In the last five games, we haven't scored too many goals but we created a lot of chances to score. My job is to help players create the chance, not to score. The players are on the pitch, scoring is the players' work.
…OPPONENT
It's a tough game because Roma are an important team in a good condition. I watched their game against Fiorentina, and their past four Serie A games, and they deserve what they are doing.
…EXPECTATION
Our expectations are high - but sometimes the expectations you the media create aren't realistic. This is the first time we played in Europe, we are trying our best to compete. We are trying to compete in the Premier League at the same time. When you play in Europe for the first time, it's normal to pay the price for that in the league. And we have. We do need results, but my job is to improve the team and the club.

Daniele De Rossi
Manager on AS Roma…DIFFERENCE
I don't think there is such a big difference. In the first match we played very well, but the 4-0 was a heavy result for the morning. We know what we hope for, we want to demonstrate that they are a great team. We will try to demonstrate this difference in the field.
…AGGRESSIVE MATCH
Yes, as normal as is. We are here to play our game. Let's try to plan a cycle and a path. We are interested in the certain point that our opponents are making. We know what we want to do, so Don't waste this type of exhibition. It will be a complicated match, in Europe in a moment the party will escape from your hands. We will try to be very concentrated.
…ATTACKING
If you don't play the game, you should ask the trainer about them. I believe that there is one thing that we have done by transmitting the trainer from the moment we got there, that is that we have a certain type of rotation and when a player enters by holding a roll that is not his, each player must behave as he will be playing on it. From this point of view it is somewhat of our concept. For me too. It doesn't matter much if you play a little more centrally or further forward.
