Catania Ready to Beat ROMA in La Coppa Italia Semifinal at the Angelo Massimino Stadium

By Anna Italia

                                          Catania - AS ROMA

Catania is taking the return of the COPPA ITALIA Semifinal very seriously!  Will Catania beat Roma? Hey, that will be a big disappointment. I love how Catania Coach Walter Zenga reacts when asked about the match and all the possibilities about what might happen with the other Semifinal between Lazio - Inter.  

Catania must think about themselves and care less on whether Inter or Lazio win. 

Sure, Zenga must be doing his calculations too. ha! 

Coppa Italia Semifinal First leg was 1-0 in favor of Roma with a goal from Captain Francesco Totti.  Click the video to see the hightlights Roma - Catania

Imagine that the last match of the Serie A is precisely CATANIA - AS ROMA where Catania will fight for la salvezza /saving themselves and Roma for the Scudetto.

That, my friends, will be a real battle where we can see the ROMAN GLADIATORS in all their splendors with their shining uniforms to defend the honor of Roma! Avanti gladiatori!

Bottom line, this match on La Coppa Italia Semifinal is like a preamble for what might come in the last crucial match where Roma either win or win, period.

Catania trained this afternoon with warm up, technical tactical drills, offensive drills and a match.  Morimoto trained separately.

      Catania will be more motivated because their chances in the Coppa Italia are better than in the Serie A where Inter and Roma are putting their main effort.

      Though, I HOPE ROMA defeat Catania! Even a draw will have Roma in the final because they won the first leg.

      TOTTI???? I am crying!!!!!! He is out!
