The league will be interrupted to make space for the Italian Cup Final Four and the break would have been a lot more enjoyable for Roma if the defeat against San Giustino had not ruined its plans.

“If we want to talk about crisis, I’d say we do not have any problems in terms of level of play – said captain Adriano Paolucci – We have not won much of late but we knew the fixture list would have made it tough for us in this period. And to be honest, against strong opponents like Cuneo and Modena, we did not play too bad, and even in Macerata, despite the final result, our performance was OK. What hurt the most were the defeat against Piacenza, Padova and the latest against San Giustino”.
