Spalletti shows Coppa caution
Wednesday 16 May, 2007
Roma boss Luciano Spalletti claims his side only have a 51 per cent chance of winning the Coppa Italia – despite their 6-2 first leg advantage over Inter!
The two teams meet at the San Siro on Thursday in the second leg of the Final and the Giallorossi are close to winning the competition for the eighth time, but the tactician is warning against complacency.
“Before last week’s match I said that our chances of winning were 50 per cent. Now I believe we are up to 51 per cent,” noted the former Udinese tactician on Wednesday.
“I am optimistic, but this doesn’t mean that we don’t have to be careful, especially in the first part of the match which can be decisive for the final outcome.
“Inter have nothing to lose, therefore they will be favoured from a psychological point of view,” he continued.
“This is our most important match of the last two years. We need to show personality and can’t go to the San Siro with the aim of just letting the 90 minutes run out.”
Today’s pre-match Press conference also turned to transfer matters as rumours claim that the capital club want Udinese striker and former Spalletti pupil Vincenzo Iaquinta.
“I have been asked questions on Iaquinta for the past two years and my answer has never changed,” he responded.
“I like Mirko Vucinic and that is why we bought him instead of Iaquinta last summer. We are happy with the players we have already.”
Roma squad – Goalkeepers: Doni, Curci, Julio Sergio
Defenders: Chivu, Defendi, Ferrari, Mexes, Panucci, Tonetto
Midfielders: Aquilani, De Rossi, Faty, Mancini, Perrotta, Pizarro, Rosi, Taddei, Wilhelmsson
