Ahead of the last league match at home to Roma, Aquilotto coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in the usual pregame press conference: "On Monday we analyzed the match against Torino, how much we did wrong and what we should have done, and as I told the boys, I hope that such a drubbing hurt us a lot and that we will do our duty to react, as we all know well the value of the match we are going to face.
We are going to face a team as valuable as Roma and we are forced by the situation to absolutely have to seize a positive result, so we will do our best and we will have to leave the field conscious of having given everything.
We will need a little more unscrupulousness and I hope to see again a test like the ones that happened against big teams like Inter and Milan, when on paper it seemed there could be no history. Useless to count the absentees, we will try to field the best possible formation, also from the psychological point of view.
As for the refereeing, I have never questioned designations or episodes, but I just have great confidence in the whole refereeing class and I am convinced that those who will direct the match are among the best.
The tiebreaker? I am not thinking about it at the moment. I think that in Italy in recent years the trend of the last few days has changed, no one gives anything away anymore and everyone plays their game with an open face, and this is how it will be for Roma and Milan.
Roma undeservedly lost Wednesday's final match. They are a team capable of waiting for the opponent and hurting on the restart. They have a valuable squad with a lot of quality, so it's hard to say now what kind of game it will be, but waiting for them throughout the match may not be the right choice, rather we will have to try to understand the moments of the match, be proactive and try to score goals, otherwise it will become more difficult.
On set-pieces we always have 2/3 dedicated marking on the opponent's best strikers, but we know that we will all have to be good in these circumstances, both who will be in the zone and who will be marking, as our opponents will be very strong in that aspect.
3-5-2? The team has shown that it is solid, leaving aside the match with Torino, and we will not change for the last day, in a decisive match for our future, in which we will have a lot to lose. I'm sure that from the aspect of dedication the boys will not miss the match, because from that point of view the boys have always given their best.
The thought of Milan? I don't want to know anything about that. We will have to think exclusively about playing our game, trying to seize a positive result against the great team that is Roma.
Ampadu? He will have his first training session today, but there should be no problems whatsoever. He can be decisive both in non-possession and in possession and he is undoubtedly an important element for us.
Our fans also against Torino were exciting, they deserve that satisfaction that we have been chasing since the beginning of the year.
I like to play games, against Torino at one point we also stopped doing that and it left me very bitter: we have to and we want to redeem ourselves, finding those energies also mental that will be able to make the difference".
