APPIANO GENTILE - Luigi Di Biagio press conference (2):
How's your physical fitness?
I'm disqualified so I'll be able to rest on Saturday. We've had a problem recently - a lot of matches
and few substitutions due to injuries and suspensions. Let's hope we get a few players back, and,
personally speaking I'd like to return to my best form - that of the beginning of the season. It's very
important for us to win in Brescia, both for the championship and the cup.
Roma play in Turin this weekend...
Roma are in-form. Now they have the derby, then the trip to the Delle Alpi. We can't make any
calculations, we just have to win all our remaining matches then we'll see what happens. The only way
to hope is to win every match.
Why have you had so many difficulties with the big clubs?
It's neither a tactical nor a psychological problem, it's a statistic. There's something that's not right.
But there's no reason in particular. For our style of play, the opposite would seem logical - being able
to exploit more room against the big sides... Having said that, it's not easy to win with the small clubs.
It's one of our characteristics, you could ask the opposite question to the others. If we'd have won
against Udinese, which isn't a small club, we'd be on top of the table.
Does it affect you psychologically?
No, but it does affect us in terms of points, in the sense that we have lost ground. We have the same
amount of points as Milan, but we've lost both matches against them. A draw would have been enough
to have a nice lead over the Rossoneri...
