“The difference in leagues made itself clear. Pazzini and [Samuel] Souprayen did very well.

“It's a shame that Gianpaolo didn't score, he had many opportunities.

“It's good that he's so anxious to score at the age of 31. He's very driven to do well.

“[Emil] Halfredsson? We'll have to evaluate him in the next few days, his calf is in a precarious condition.

“[Leandro] Greco is our alternative to [Federico] Viviani, he played his game and I don't think I'll use Rafa Marquez in front of the defence.

“We recovered Romulo and we're recovering [Artur] Ionita, but numerically speaking we're lacking something.”
