The Giallorossi will try not to miss what could be their last opportunity for silverware as they approach the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32.

Coach Rudi Garcia stresses ‘drive’, but admits more favourable incidents will also be crucial for Roma to defeat Feyenoord.
The Giallorossi will try not to miss what could be their last opportunity for silverware as they approach the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32.
Garcia, who is developing renown for his polemics over refereeing, admitted sheer drive will not be enough.
“Tomorrow we must be driven, yes, but we also need more incidents to go our way,” considered the Frenchman in his pre-match Press conference.
“We must be more efficient in the attack, too.
“Tomorrow's going to be an in-out game. Drive will be at the heart of it, and we always had that.”
Garcia then went into a more detailed discussion of his team's tactics.
“My team can be compact or stretched depending on the game.
“As a Coach I always advise my team to stay compact and leave no spaces.
“Over the month of January we always had to catch up on a lead before we could think of winning.
“But in the last few games we were leading, so I think it's understandable that a desire to protect the result could compel the team to stretch itself.
“As for [Alessandro] Florenzi and [Juan] Iturbe, we'll wait till we've seen them in training.
“Then we'll make our decision on whether they're good to play against Feyenoord.”
