Spalletti: The lads have been brilliant so far

"The lads have been brilliant in our last few games," said the Roma coach. "They have grown in mental strength to be able to fight for the position we currently occupy in the league table from now until the end of the season."

Roma have won their last six matches and now sit in third place, level with Fiorentina, who travel to the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow night.

"The lads are now on the right track. We have to give 100% and always try to improve. That goes for me too. Everyone who works here are professionals in their area of expertise. Everyone works well and you need to be brave enough to try things. Everyone needs to reach for the stars and try to stay there - that way we won't stay rooted to the spot and we can aim high."
