Roma don’t fear Real Friday 21 December, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roma fans may have winced when they were drawn with Real Madrid, but director Antonio Tempestilli insists the Giallorossi aren’t scared.
Luciano Spalletti’s men were always going to be given a tough task after finishing second to Manchester United in their Group.
Being paired with the side that knocked out their city rivals Lazio may provide a little extra motivation for a team looking to demonstrate their improvement from last term.
“Real have indisputable credentials, but Lazio showed that they are beatable,” Tempestilli told Sky Sport Italia.
“When we were drawn together, their sporting director Predrag Mijatovic grimaced – a sign that we are also a team to be feared.
“We want to arrive at the tie with a full-strength squad and then we are confident that we can get through.
“I was more concerned about the English sides. I know the strength of the Premier League clubs, but now we want to get through even though it will be very difficult in the latter stages.”
