ROME. “It’s just a friendly match, because so many people?”

Not just entered the press room Rudi Garcia jokes, trying to ease the tension of the day before with a joke, but when he gets serious does not hide, and indeed charging properly and environment team ahead of tonight’s Manchester City decisive for the passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League. “There will be an Olympic fire and we will have no choice but to play to win – said the coach of Roma -. We will be masters of our destiny just like that, because we do not know what can happen between Bayern Monaco and CSKA Moscow. There is only a scenario for us: to attack to score a goal in most of the City. “

The French, on the other hand, knows that against the English is a game from inside or out. “For us it is like a final – admits -. Normally at this point we should be out of the game because we are in the most difficult group of all the Champions, we left the fourth band, while the City is champion of England, but thanks to our quality we have this opportunity and succeed we have to play. It is true that it will be great if we win, but we aim all’exploit tomorrow. We want to qualify and go on. “

How to do that? A Garcia feel the way forward is just one: “We have to stay focused on ourselves, on our game and intensity that will get in the field. We know it will be difficult, but I’m sure we can do it – the belief of the technical -. It will be a game where we will have to use your head, not just play at 100%, will also be playing tactics. Through the round would be the culmination of daily work. “

Work that is also to defend his players. The last to be finished under the spotlight, to eject the Sassuolo and some issues related to privacy, is De Rossi. “If I have doubts about its use with the City after what happened to him on a personal level? But even before the Inter outputs are things that do not concern the field – cut short Garcia -. I am the coach Daniele player and man, and these things for me have not even 1% of importance. I must always support my players and make sure they’re well into their head. And Daniel is fine, is a man-dressing, has 100 appearances for his country, is a great champion on the field but also in life. ” But until the last will be in the runoff with Keita. In attack, finally, the trident will instead be formed by Ljajic, captain Totti and Gervinho.
