Interviewed in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Reja said: "Now comes the difficult bit.
"From January 6 to February 6 we have a month full of work to do.
"There is also the derby in the Coppa Italia, which we care about a lot.

"If we were to come out of this 30 day period well, then we could really start to dream."
Asked to reveal his objectives, Reja replied: "Let's say the Champions League, which would be like a Scudetto.
"For the League title I fear there are teams more equipped than us.
"Milan are the favourites. Cassano is the icing on the cake. I am sure that in that environment he'll toe the line and do great things. But also keep an eye on Inter."
