| | Spalletti eyes Chelsea springboard |
Friday 7 November, 2008 |
| Luciano Spalletti has included Francesco Totti in his Roma squad to face Bologna and hopes to build on a midweek win at Chelsea.
The Giallorossi are languishing around the relegation zone in Serie A, but they showed signs of a revival with a crucial Champions League triumph over Chelsea on Tuesday evening.
Spalletti has received a boost with the news that captain Totti is fit to feature at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, but Alberto Aquilani is still out of action.
“I feel good and the team are training with a renewed calm,” Spalletti revealed.
“The spirit always makes the difference and we need to translate the enthusiasm we have shown in training into results.
“As for the tactical decisions, they depend on the men I have at my disposal.
“We must remember that we need to keep working hard because we may have beaten Chelsea but we have lost to a number of other sides.
“We will only start talking about the League table again if we can pick up some more results.”
Roma's opponents will have renewed motivation under new Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.
“Mihajlovic's personality will be the same as it was when he was a player. Given the way he played, he will probably use a four-man defence,” Spalletti guessed.
