Luciano Spalletti believes Roma lack the right attitude to win the Scudetto and was “devastated” at the outcome of today’s game.
“Our disappointment and devastation is total, because the team was well aware it was challenging for something important,” said the Coach.
The 1-1 draw with Livorno, sealed by Alessandro Diamanti’s late free kick, means on Sunday Inter could theoretically extend their lead to six points with just four games to go.
“We are lacking certain qualities that at times we are able to find and put into a match situation, but in others we can’t.
“Today we played well, even if we didn’t create a huge amount, especially in the first half. After the equaliser the lead we had three or four chances, but as often happens we only put the right aggression into it after we run into problems.”
It can be said that Livorno decided this Scudetto, as both their games with Roma ended 1-1 this season.
“It all depends on Inter. We have thrown away a golden opportunity, but what can you say to the lads after a draw like this, when you concede a strike from 25 metres in their first shot on goal?
“We should have had a bit more luck, but this season it all went against us.”
To make matters worse, Francesco Totti went off in the first half and has been diagnosed with damaged anterior cruciate ligaments in his right knee.
