&lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;Coach &lt;strong&gt;Eusebio Di Francesco&lt;/strong&gt; faced the media on Tuesday to preview his side&amp;#39;s Champions League meeting with Atletico Madrid. The Giallorossi know a draw or better at the Estadio Metropolitano on Wednesday night will secure their place in the knockout stages of the competition. The game in Madrid kicks off at 20:45 CET.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What have you done to motivate the players again after the derby?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “The lads got their approach to the derby spot on and I&amp;#39;m sure they&amp;#39;ll be as ready as they can be for this one too. We&amp;#39;re playing a team with an excellent European record and we have a good lead in the group but we mustn&amp;#39;t settle for what we&amp;#39;ve got – we have to come away with a result tomorrow.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How&amp;#39;s Radja Nainggolan doing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “He&amp;#39;s in the squad so that means he could play.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could Gerson start the match tomorrow, as he did in London?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “Gerson is one of the options we have tomorrow. He&amp;#39;s performed well on the right wing and he could do the same again tomorrow. I don&amp;#39;t want to give anything away today. You&amp;#39;ll see tomorrow.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What sort of game do you think Atletico will play?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “I&amp;#39;ve watched their last few matches and they always play a very aggressive game. I expect them to be even more aggressive tomorrow. We&amp;#39;ll have to match them in every area and try to spend as much time as possible in their half. This is a tough place to come and they&amp;#39;re a very good side. We all have to stick together and remember that we&amp;#39;ve improved a lot.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will you have one eye on the game against Genoa when you pick your line-up tomorrow? This match isn&amp;#39;t decisive for qualification after all...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “It&amp;#39;s decisive for me. Genoa comes later. Tomorrow is decisive if we want to qualify with a game to spare and if we want to stay top of the group. Genoa don&amp;#39;t come into my thinking at the moment. I&amp;#39;ll pick the best team possible for this match.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We&amp;#39;ve seen pictures on social media of the players going out for meals together and enjoying themselves. How much of an input have you had there?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “It&amp;#39;s something we&amp;#39;ve been talking about since the start of the season. I&amp;#39;m very happy that they go out together – ideally just to drink water!”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you remember from when played against Diego Simeone in the derby as a player and in Europe against Atletico?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “Simeone has the same grit and determination as a coach that he had as a player. I remember when we came here to play Atletico the fans were very hostile. It&amp;#39;s a tough place to come and we made some mistakes but we played well both home and away.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did you expect to win over the fans this quickly?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “I didn&amp;#39;t make any plans; I&amp;#39;ve just tried to work hard and put my ideas across to the players. I don&amp;#39;t have to try and win over the fans but the players because they in turn can get the fans on our side. It&amp;#39;s easy to rest on your laurels in Rome but that&amp;#39;s precisely what I don&amp;#39;t want.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did you expect to be coming to Madrid for this game in such a strong position in the group? Roma are virtually through to the knockout stages. Are you going for first place?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “I didn&amp;#39;t expect Atletico to have just three points but we&amp;#39;ve done well ourselves, especially considering that we deserved to win at Stamford Bridge. Right now our target has to be to try and seal qualification and top spot&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.asroma.com&#34;&gt;www.asroma.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How&#39;s Radja Nainggolan doing? 
“He&#39;s in the squad so that means he could play.”

Could Gerson start the match tomorrow, as he did in London? 
“Gerson is one of the options we have tomorrow. He&#39;s performed well on the right wing and he could do the same again tomorrow. I don&#39;t want to give anything away today. You&#39;ll see tomorrow.”
