Spalletti thinks positive
Sunday 10 May, 2009

Luciano Spalletti tried to dwell on the positives in today's 2-2 draw in Sardinia, although sixth place is still under threat.

Cagliari were leading 2-0, but Roma fought back with two goals in five minutes from Francesco Totti and Simone Perrotta.

“I would say this was a very entertaining game for everyone and continually went end to end,” smiled the Coach.

“We were facing a Cagliari side that is doing very well this season and fully deserve their position. At the start we took control and stepped out there with the right attitude, creating many chances.

“Unfortunately they scored with their first attempt and doubled their lead after the break, taking advantage of our naivety in defence.

“At least we saw the right reaction from my men, as their aggression came out in a positive manner.

“This was a clear and positive sign from the squad and I thank them. They showed pride and hunger, exhibiting all Roma's battling spirit.”

The 2-2 result still leaves the Giallorossi in a sticky position, though, as they are only two points ahead of Palermo - who lost today - and three clear of Cagliari.
