Coppa Italia Semi's 2nd Leg: A.S Roma - Catania [08-05-08]
Quote:
Zenga’s up for the Cup
Monday 14 April, 2008
Catania boss Walter Zenga has rubbished suggestions that a mid-week Coppa Italia semi-final against Roma is a distraction from the relegation dogfight.
The Elefanti reached the final four of the Cup for the first time in the club’s history after shocking Milan in the last 16 and squeezing past Udinese on away goals.
However, with the Sicilians just two points from the drop zone after Saturday’s defeat against Palermo, some experts feel that Wednesday’s Cup tie may be an unwelcome extra engagement.
“It can’t be an annoyance to play a Coppa Italia semi-final, otherwise what are the good things about playing football?” Zenga stressed.
“Any team would like to be in our place because every Coach lives for these kind of encounters.
“The game against Roma is important and prestigious for us and we will give it our best.”
Zenga will have to manage without star man Juan Manuel Vargas as well as Davide Baiocco, Inacio Piá, Giuseppe Colucci, Gennaro Sardo, Andrea Sottil and goalkeeper Albano Bizzarri.

well he's up for it so should we.
this could be the only cup we win, so i expect us to play like we are in a final vs inter.

I wouldn't mind seeing Aquilani play this match and maybe rest De Rossi. Totti should should have half the game to get his form back. Juan should also sit this one out as well. It will be a tough match...let's hope for no injuries.

Brighi Antunes and Guily should start.De Rossi to be rested and Aquilani is still injured with Juan I believe.Should be a fun game.totti should start with Mancini on the left and Guily on the right with Perrotta in the middle.

Perrotta cant play DM....especially since we're missing a key passer like Pizarro.

0-0 so far.Boring.Totti and Cicinho are hooking up well.Impressed with Itunes.Mancini has been poor along with Perrotta.Totti has been a disappointment as well.

I'm sure the players do not want to kill themselves out there...hows Curci playing? Seems like forever since his last game start.

Curci is ok.He hasnt made a serious save but at least he's more demanding on his defenders now.He calls for the crosses as well now.Good stuff from him.

I hope Totti gets subbed in the next 10 minutes...no point in over stressing himself.

Seems as if Roma are having some good chances to score. They really need to score another to send Catania on their way.
