Udinese boss Pasquale Marino promises that UEFA Cup concerns have been put to one side as the Friulani prepare to face Roma.
The Bianconeri are the only Italian side to have progressed to the last 16 of the UEFA Cup after holding their nerve against Lech Poznan.
But now they must put together a good run in the League if they are to book a place in Europe for next season and this weekend's tough trip to Roma could be crucial.
“We aren't thinking about Europe, we are just focusing on Roma,” Marino maintained.
“We have four more games after that before we need to start concentrating on Zenit St Petersburg.
“I don't think Roma will be distracted by their Champions League engagements either - they have a lot of experience at managing a campaign on multiple fronts.
“We will just try and play our game at the Stadio Olimpico because we are looking to collect as many points as possible.
“In June we will end a two-year spell of work and we can review what we have achieved. For now, we are just trying to end the season on a positive note by giving our best.”
Udinese (squad): Belardi, Handanovic, Koprivec, Coda, Felipe, Pasquale, Sala, Sissoko, Vuyadinovich, Zapata, Asamoah, D’Agostino, Inler, Obodo, Zimling, Di Natale, Floro Flores, Pepe, Quagliarella, Sanchez
