Vincenzo Montella insists AS Roma can still beat Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final
Vincenzo Montella has insisted that AS Roma can still qualify for the Coppa Italia final despite the first-leg loss at home to Internazionale. He stated that it will be difficult at San Siro with a quality opposition but claimed that the Romans will give
their all in the fixture on Wednesday night.
AS Roma travel to San Siro to face Inter Milan for the second-leg of the Italian cup semi-final. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Stankovic-c10793 goal. The winner of the clash will face Palermo, who beat AC Milan in the
other semi-final.
Montella admitted that it will be a difficult game for Giallorossi after conceding a crucial away goal in the loss in Rome. To make matters worse, Roma will miss many key players for the clash including. The likes of Philippe Mexes and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940 will
be out with injuries but the manager added that the squad has many more quality players to replace them.
“It's a difficult game, but we believe in it. We are missing [Philippe] Mexes, [Matteo] Brighi, [Rodrigo] Taddei and [Francesco] Totti, so this makes our job more difficult. However, we have the means to try. The game will be 90 minutes, and so we will play
our best,” the Italian was quoted as saying in an interview.
The Italian could also be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024. The forward is doubtful and Montella said that his condition will be examined with a late fitness test.
“Vucinic had a problem, but we will see tomorrow. At this point it's not important who has trained more or less, we will see how he is tomorrow,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 attacker concluded.
Vincenzo Montella took over as caretaker manager of the club in February after a series of poor results forced Claudio Ranieri to resign from his post. The club has since seen a mini-revival and are now in contention for a UEFA Champions League place with
just two games to play in the domestic season.
