The former Lupi tactician has stated his desire to see his beloved Roma qualify for a place in next year’s Champions League, but remarked that it would not be easy.
AS Roma have witnessed some exceptional performances under Luis Enrique, and a match that showed the true potential of the Giallorossi was their win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
They were rampant in the match, scoring four past helpless http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julio-Cesar-c19961. However, they have not been able to replicate such performances on a regular basis.
This consistency has dealt a blow to the Champions League aspirations of the capital side, but they are still hopeful of finishing in the third-place.
Mazzone was talking to Radio Sport 24, and he stated that Napoli have been more consistent than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, but he hopes that his former employers will overcome the Partenopei in the race for the third-spot. He
remarked on the situation by stating:
“Up until now, I think Napoli have done that little bit more to deserve third place. However, I hope that Roma can give something extra in the last part of the campaign, especially if a few of their rivals
start to struggle.”
The last Champions League place of the Serie A is wide open, courtesy the inconsistencies of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 have made a late surge, and before their draw against the Bianconeri, they were on a
five-match winning run in the Serie A.
The third and the seventh place in the points table is divided by a margin of only 7 points, and with ten more matches to go until the end of the season, it would be an interesting end to the campaign.
Mazzone, who turned 75 yesterday, was full of praise for Enrique, and believes that time needs to be given to the Spaniard. However, he also admitted in a club such as AS Roma, time is hardly ever given to
a manager, further stating:
“Patience is needed which is hard in a place like Rome, but Luis Enrique is an excellent boss and he has some good young players who will have great careers.”
The Giallorossi will face AC Milan in their next game on Saturday, March 24.
