“It’s wonderful getting accustomed to the raised expectations of our fans, but we also know Serie A is a tough league and every game is a difficult one. We’ll give it heart and effort, as always,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“We know that we need to improve our results at home and are really hungry for three points at the Sardegna Arena. I think concentration is the real key.
“Radja Nainggolan did well as a trequartista behind the strikers against Roma, with some passes that showed his vision is superior to the norm. Obviously, we expect a lot from him, because he does belong at a different level.
“Every week represents a test and we need to show that our mentality is improving.”
The injury crisis continues, with Alessio Cragno, Leonardo Pavoletti, Federico Mattiello, Alessandro Deiola and Charalampos Lykogiannis out of action, but Joao Pedro has shaken off a back problem.
