Mexes: Spalletti Told Us Not To Give Up
(Goal.com) - The Frenchman believes that the Giallorossi must react in order to defend the second place in the standings and win the Coppa Italia.
Philippe Mexes wants to put behind him the terrible night that Roma had at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening, and look forward to the final part of the season, which might still hold a lot of satisfaction for the Giallorossi.
"For first thing, we must say sorry to our fans, who despite the terrible result of Manchester, continue to follow us.
"Now we must just continue working.
"Mister Spalletti asked us not to give up now, we must react and defend the second place.
"And then there's the Coppa Italia which we must win."
Mexes also hinted out that he has no intention of leaving Roma any time soon since his contract expires in 2008.
"My contract renewal? I'm fine here," concluded the French defender.

On the contrary,anyone can have a bad game,the stadium should be packed supporting their team,they came a long way,with a broke team,and a limited marginal roster,I didn't know them till now, i tought they were impressive!even when they were down 6-0 their fans were singing the team's national anthem!the second goal cut their legs off,Man U was superb and experience not only on the field but as an organization prevailed, but I won't Roma under a bus.

I guess the fans that showed up enjoyed themselves Roma won 4-0.

Winning 4-0 means nothing when you've lost 7-1 in Europe 5 days earlier. The embarrassment and humiliation is too much to bear for Italians. We can take solace that we have won the last world cup and that Milan has a chance to make things right by knocking Man U out, but that will be difficult. That loss will sting for a long time and deservedly so.
