I can rely on a solid group with great enthusiasm ... but the teams preceding us in the table are too strong. We can aim to clinch fourth place and a Champions League spot.

Certainly, we would like to have Francesco on the pitch because he is a great player. He is training regularly with the team but we want to do everything the right way for his recovery.

I have to congratulate my players on how they handled the situation playing with ten against eleven. I can't complain about my players' mental fortitude.

I'll try to make few mistakes. Mancini has some advantage, because he already lived these moments. He already has won the Italian Cup as a player and as a coach.

At this stage, all I can do is wait to see how the situation develops. It all depends on what decision the club takes, so I must remain open to all possible alternatives.

It will be hard, but we will try to keep this rhythm going as long as possible.

That quick goal made our match difficult, but I must compliment my players for their good reaction and performance. Of course, in front, we suffered from the absence of real strikers.

It's a fantastic achievement. To still be in this competition, particularly with some of the injury problems we've had, shows how hard our players have worked. We played well tonight especially on the break. But we also did well to keep a clean sheet.

It was a tough game but I thought we deserved to qualify.

It's a shame we dropped so many points at the start of the season. At least we're making them up now.
