The Giallorossi had a difficult start to the 2011-12 campaign, but have steadily improved throughout the season and have now set their sights on Champions League qualification
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has stated that the possibility to qualify for next season's Champions League serves as extra motivation for the Giallorossi to continue to fight for the remainder of the season. Luis Enrique's side initially struggled to meet the high expectations in the opening months of the 2011-12 campaign, but have climbed to sixth spot in the table after the winter break, trailing third-place Lazio by only four points with eight rounds still to go.
"The fact that Lazio and Udinese lost at the weekend is a bit of a boost," De Rossi said toTeleRadioStereo. "We have an extra motivation to keep on going now. We are close [to third spot] and can't give up. "We have to keep believing in ourselves and see how far we can go." Roma resume Serie A action on April 7 when they take on Lecce.
