I think the team is in much better shape now, we have worked hard on our mistakes, even if we still have big margin for improvement. We will give everything in Perugia to take points. Then, we will have two games against Milan and Vibo, where we know we can win if we play well. Our goal remains to take the necessary points to be in the Italian Cup ».
