It’s neither a question of mental nor of level of play. Rome suffered four consecutive losses and would like to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but right now there’s a blackout.

“I’d like to make an objective analysis – said coach Piacentini – to talk seriously instead of going crazy, even though I have to admit we are going through a difficult moment. I’d like to underline the fact that it’s not all negative. Apart from a couple of games, like the ones against Santa Croce at home or in Catania, we played well. Unfortunately, and this happened again in Mantova, when it came down to finish the job off to turn things around, we failed”.

Meanwhile, Piacentini will still be without Oro on Wednesday for the road game in Loreto.
