Rome, Garcia: “React and win, there is no choice” – The Republic

Rome – After the mea culpa of the Director General Mauro Baldissoni, Rudi Garcia – in a press conference ahead of the home match against Atalanta – does not return the defeat of Barcelona. Perhaps because he considers a waste of resources to ask the excuse for the performance staged at the Camp Nou, according to turn the page and start again as soon as possible. The aim of the French coach, in fact, is to allow the group to find cohesion and trust, thinking only to the Olympic race. “We should not feel sorry for ourselves, we are fighters.”

“WE ARE ANGRY, I HOPE TO HAVE THE CONTRIBUTION OF SOUTH BEND” – He had five days to cure a dressing wounded by a result sound and a performance that, in the words of the same players, was defined as a match badly prepared. As a race in which the Roma, in fact, did nothing: “With the team I spoke, I always do. The dissatisfaction and disappointment have been strong, but apart to put all our forces on the match on Sunday, and prove that we are able to react, there is nothing else to do. ” Does not take advantage of the conference to make the necessary adjustments to some of his statements in the post of the Camp Nou, where he had even pointed out some positive aspects of the defeat against Barcelona: “The fans were sorry but I have to look at the future: we will be stronger with our fans to push us, we will need if we are to achieve the goals we have set ourselves. I understand their disappointment, the team was also knocked down. Now we will play at home, we are angry and want to show many things. Against Atalanta I hope also to review the Curva Sud, with them we are stronger. “

” GREATER CONTINUITY ‘IN DEFENDING “- You feel responsible like all other high components. “Apart from the first time in Borisov not remember races where we have not played well throughout the game, otherwise it would be possible to just three points out of first place and 90 minutes from qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions”. He rejects criticism of a possible lack of charisma and personality of the group: “We’d need continuity, this is true, but to say that we started the game against Barcelona already defeated is a lie. The context – continues the Frenchman – knowing that the decisive race would still be the next challenge, and it was better not to fix tags and injuries, has meant that the team could find a greater incentive to fight. “

” RUNNING ON ALL “- Node crucial to the defense. 31 goals conceded in 18 games. 9 occasions when the Giallorossi went behind: “We can do better on the defensive. I would be fine even win all the races to 3-2 but we have to improve continuity in defending well. The first goal is important, affects the game but this team, with these qualities, should be able to win even if he were going at a disadvantage. ” Fully recovered Daniele De Rossi (“I did not want to risk it in Barcelona”) with its plug in midfield the team will be called for greater attention to return to win and try to stretch in the standings. “We – concludes Garcia – have clear objectives: pass the round, and we can do it by beating Bate, and qualify for the next Champions League, struggling for a goal even higher. For now, we are running out of everything. The objectives remain and we are determined to bring them to fruition. “
