Nicolas Burdisso claims AS Roma can still grab the elusive UEFA Champions League spot - Serie A news
AS Roma centre-back, Nicolas Burdisso, has insisted that the Yellow-Reds can still grab the last UEFA Champions League spot. The Roman side finds themselves just one point short of the fourth placed SS Lazio and are level on points with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Udinese-Calcio-c40789. He
also claimed that Roma can even win the Coppa Italia this season.
Vincenzo Montella’s side slumped to a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan. The defender reckoned that Roma can easily make it to the finals of the competition as they are good enough to make a comeback and score
two goals at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan.
The former Inter Milan defender mentioned that the remaining three games of the season hold immense importance for Roma as well as for Udinese and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775. He admitted that it would be a tough job to fight for that elusive Champions League spot and the upcoming
game against AC Milan would certainly decide the fate of his side.
Further commenting upon his team’s chances, Burdisso added, "We still have a chance to reach the Champions League. For us it's important, it's what this team and this club deserves, to go as far as possible. We're one point behind after a season that wasn't
very good. But I think we can finish well and I also think we can reach the cup final."
La Maggica defence has received a lot of criticism this season for leaking in plenty of goals, 49 in all. The 30-year-old confirmed that the Yellow-Reds would redesign their back four prior to the most important games ahead.
He concluded by saying, "Of course, we need to be more careful than ever in defence. But we're a very attacking team and in every match we attack with two full-backs and two central midfielders as well as the four up front. Sometimes you don't see this balance
in games and we have few players defending. Some teams don't commit many men forward and don't score many goals, but we score a lot. And we concede a lot too, we need to rediscover what we used to do well."
AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 are currently fifth in the Serie A with 59 points and have three games left to play in the campaign, which will decide Roma’s presence in the UEFA Champions League next season.
