A.S Roma too far from reaching Milan’s level, insists Luis Enrique: Serie A news
A.S Roma manager, Luis Enrique, believes that his team needs to bridge a lot of gap to come close to A.C Milan.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 lost 2-3 to Italian Champions in a recent Serie A encounter at the Stadio Olimpico Rome on Saturday, October 29th, 2011. The Giallorossi have suffered their 3rd defeat in the last four games.
Enrique admitted that Milan were clearly the dominant of the two sides in the game and despite dominating the possession and creating a lot of scoring opportunities, his team was missing the killer instinct.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B coach is frustrated with his team’s performance and insisted that they made the same mistakes as they did in the previous matches.
The 41-year-old believes that his team needs to improve a lot and they cannot yet be considered as a top team. The tactician insisted that his side lacked experience against Milan and it was quite evident from their performance.
While talking to the reporters, Enrique said, “There is too much of a gap between us. We had many shots, but without the grit that is necessary in these games. In the first half we couldn’t get near their goal, but the truth is we never had the chance to win it.”
“All week we had discussed the problems in defending from set plays. There is an absurd difference between Nicolas Burdisso’s goal, where he jumped with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Nesta-c4735’s goal in which he was allowed so much room it felt like he was at home.” added the Spaniard
The former Real Madrid star shook hands with A.C Milan assistant coach, Mauro Tassotti, who broke his nose in an international game 17 years ago. Enrique insisted that the incident has become a past now and he has no hard feelings for the former Italian international.
The defeat takes Roma to the 13th spot in the league table with only 11 points from their opening 9 league matches thus far. The Giallorossi will travel to Novara for their next league game at the Stadio Silvio Piola on Saturday, November 5th, 2011.
