“We faced Roma without fear or reverence and, despite the defeat, we need to improve in terms of making the most of our chances and riding out the wave of opposition attacks,” said the Neroverdi Coach.

“We’ll make up for it against Lazio. Unfortunately we are decimated by injuries and I don’t have many options to choose from. We must be stronger than these setbacks.

“We’re missing Paolo Cannavaro, Tim Letschert and Luca Antei, so I’ll have to completely reinvent the defence. Luckily I am creative, so we’ll think of something.

“Alfred Duncan might not be fit enough to play, while Luca Mazzitelli and Federico Ricci also need to be evaluated.

“Lazio have a great deal of quality and, unlike us, do not need to spread their resources over European commitments this season. Ciro Immobile is a real hitman who can sense the goal.

“Every match is significant and we need to be more consistent rather than have these highs and lows. We must unite to get through these difficulties.”

Despite all of this, Sassuolo remain contenders to qualify for Europe again and with a good chance of progress from the Europa League group phase.

“I have the ambition to coach at the highest level, but I am in no rush to leave Sassuolo. I would only move on for an ambitious project.

“At Sassuolo I have all of that, albeit on a smaller scale. I need a credible project where there is faith in a Coach and this is what I found at Sassuolo.”
