“We must win to cap off this fantastic period and because we’d have the certainty of getting Christmas sixth in the table,” the Coach said at a Press conference.
“It’d be a great achievement. Our objective is to improve our position in the table as much as possible and have ourselves a nice Christmas.
“We have a great opportunity, but I must stress that it won’t be easy against Empoli.”
