ROME - There is no doubt a big name team AS Roma, as the top Italian and European. However, all the reputation it does not prove as last week. Francesco Totti et al noted poor results, respectively. Namely, the 3-3 draw against the club MFK Kosice Slovakia in the first leg playoff Europa League (20 / 8) and the 2-3 defeat by Genoa in Serie A stage (23 / 8).That's obviously not a good stock for Giallorossi-term Roma face-to Kosice in the second leg next morning. Moreover, they have not confirmed a number of important pillars such as defender Juan and Cicinho is still injured. The only thing that could be considered profits as Rome playing at home, Olimpico.
In fact, by playing a goalless draw it, Rome was certainly qualified for the group phase thanks to the scoring rules in the cage opposite. But, certainly not easy to prevent the duo bomber January Kosice Milikonvic Kovac and Marco who last week scored a goal for the Slovak team. Motivation and confidence they will grow thanks to the results of the first leg then.
Instead, the host was overwhelmed heavy disappointment of defeat at home to Genoa in Serie A opener last week Especially, since the creation of two controversial goals smelled Genoa. To the point, President Rosella Sensi Roma joined the leadership condemns referee who considered harmful to his team.
"We're entitled to win. This is a very bad start for us. By default, the effect to another event (Europa League, Red) is not good," Sensi said as quoted Itasportpress site. "I hope the next fight-fight referee could be more professional," he continued irritably.
In addition, it is suspected, Rome lost because Nicolas Burdisso installed to cover the absence of Juan and Cicinho. There's nothing wrong with the quality of new players on loan from the Inter. The problem, as against Genoa, he had to practice a day. That's certainly not enough to make him adapt to the team.
But, Burdisso defeat such guarantees will not be repeated. "In my opinion, Rome's great play, we dominated the control of the ball," claims the Argentine player.
"Sure, we finally conceded three goals, but the fight this time we could improve the appearance. Roma is the team who will fight to the end. I came here to help this team win," he emphasized to the Romans Channel.
Actually, behind the negative news about the host, there is good news. Striker Mirko Vučinić already started training with the squad that will be deployed at the Europa League. He underwent minor surgery three weeks ago, and his condition is improving. However, readiness in action tonight against Kosice is still in doubt.
In a Wednesday morning practice session, Matteo Brighi, Marco Andreolli, and Max Tonetto not look at Trigoria complex. Since yesterday until Thursday, coach Luciano Spalletti for the exercise portion of double tickets to the group phase.
