What They're Saying
AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia (via Football Italia): "We can always do more. The fact that we've had so many draws in the first three months of 2015 and are still second shows what a good first half of the season we had, but we'll discuss that at the end of the season."
Napoli manager Rafa Benitez (via Football Italia): "It's an important game. There are still so many games to play and so many points available before the end of the season."
