The Giallorossi boss laments his team’s poor performance against Bologna, and urges them to bounce back strongly against the Sardinian outfit
AS Roma manager, Luis Enrique, is unhappy with his team’s recent slump in form, and has urged his men to remain focused.
After a streak of seven consecutive wins, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 have suffered a defeat and a draw in their previous two games. They suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus in the quarter-final of Coppa Italia before playing a stalemate against
Bologna over the weekend.
The Giallorossi will take on Cagliari in their next league game at Stadio Sant’Elia on Wednesday, 01 February 2012. Enrique admitted that the team has let the momentum slip of late, and has urged them to improve their game.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B coach is still ruing the dropped points against Bologna last weekend, and admitted that his team did not deserve the win. He believes that the team should have defended better against Stefano Pioli’s men,
as they conceded a cheap goal.
Enrique is hoping for an improved performance from his team and is confident that they will bounce back strongly. The Spaniard is expecting a tough game for his side and believes that they need to work hard to get the three points.
While talking to the reporters, Luis Enrique said,
"The team has probably let its guard down slightly. It's a real pity because we had chances in the first half to put the game beyond our rivals' reach. A win would have been a great result but we didn't deserve it. We should have
defended better. I expect a good performance from my side tomorrow.”
"We know how Cagliari plays and we will try to apply the right solutions to limit them. I believe it will be a difficult game and we must be prepared to suffer."
The capital club is placed 6th in the league table with 32 points from 20 matches played thus far. Enrique has targeted UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season and has targeted a top three finish.
Roma will be without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Pjanic-c25984 for this game.
