Roma Coach Rudi Garcia insists his side can still win the Scudetto, despite falling seven points behind Juventus.
The Giallorossi have the chance to close that gap to four points – at least temporarily – when they take on Empoli at Olimpico tomorrow night.
“I’ve already stated this – we’re in the running for three competitions [Serie A, Coppa Italia, Europa League],” Garcia told journalists in his pre-match Press conference.
Roma Coach Rudi Garcia insists his side can still win the Scudetto, despite falling seven points behind Juventus.
The Giallorossi have the chance to close that gap to four points – at least temporarily – when they take on Empoli at Olimpico tomorrow night.
“I’ve already stated this – we’re in the running for three competitions [Serie A, Coppa Italia, Europa League],” Garcia told journalists in his pre-match Press conference.
“We’re second in the League. The numbers speak for this team, Roma haven’t often seen these kinds of numbers.
“We’ve drawn too many, but other than doing everything to win, I think of what this team has done. I’d ask people not to have short memories.
“We have to rely completely on ourselves, and look ahead. We have to win games. That’s the ambition we all have.”
The French Coach admits that closing the gap to the Bianconeri will not be an easy task, as he describes tomorrow’s opponents as the most organised team in the League, after only narrowly beating them in their last two meetings.
“Empoli are perhaps the most tactically organised team in the League. We did well in both games to unlock them eventually, perhaps we didn’t score enough.
“Nothing changes in terms of the team’s attitude, which is to be deadly.
“Hopefully the players have realised that they have to defend free-kicks well, and where we get opportunities in attack be effective on the final ball and finishing, which we lacked in the Coppa Italia [a 2-1 win after extra time].”
