Pasquale Marino warns Udinese will give their all to beat Roma today and continue their Champions League push.
“The team worked well this week and this is the kind of challenge that really motivates the players,” said the Friuli Coach.
“This weekend’s results will certainly give important indications for the table in terms of Scudetto and European places.
“However, our campaign will not end this Sunday. We will not give up until the final round, regardless of our result against Roma.”
Udinese face a Roma side desperate for points to stay in the Scudetto hunt and boost confidence after their Champions League exit to Manchester United.
“Over the course of a season a team can play a few games below par and that can especially happen when playing every three days,” continued Marino.
“Having said that, Roma lately seem to be in good shape. I expect them to be strong and focused on their primary objective. They’ll be eager to react after their elimination and we know their quality.”
Cristian Zapata has recovered from injury and Antonio Di Natale is also fit, so Simone Pepe should complete the trident with Fabio Quagliarella.
“Knowing Roma’s strength we have to seek to make as few mistakes as possible. Recently we have reduced the number of errors, learning to struggle under pressure to bring home results.
“This too, as I have said many times, is a sign of maturity.”
