MILAN – Domenico Di Carlo speaking to the press ahead of tomorrow afternoon’s match:“We have five tough matches ahead of us and we have to do what we can. The players are giving all that they have and there’s only three points between us and safety. Milan are on a winning streak and they need points to get into Europe, we need points to stay in Serie A. We’ll need to be compact and fast. The players have to maintain lucidity and play like a team fighting for survival. With courage, we’ll succeed. The good news is that Emerson is back training and I’d say that’s the first piece of good news in 15 days”.

MILANELLO - The team is training for the last time ahead of Milan-Livorno tomorrow at 15.00 at the Sna Siro.

Vincenzo Montella spoke to reporters in the press room at the Stadio Franchi earlier today. This is what he said:

Are Roma a stronger side?
“I don’t know. They certainly have a top-quality squad with some excellent options on the bench. I don’t see a huge difference between us and them. We’ve lost whenever we’ve met them recently but always played very well. We’re in for a great game. We’ll need to be especially careful in dealing with the specific threats they pose.”

Can Roma still believe in the title?
“They’ve had a fantastic season. They play as a team and read the game so well during the course of the match. Juventus are still almost unbeatable though.”

Will Matri start?
“We’ll see tomorrow.”

What has Garcia brought to Roma?
“His methods. He has the whole squad on his side: everyone gives their all and feels involved.”

How do you stop Gervinho?
“There’s not a lot you can do. We’ll try to cut out his supply line and double up on him when he has the ball.”
