Mirko targets CL qualification

Roma striker Mirko Vucinic admits it is important that they manage to secure Champions League qualification this season.

The Giallorossi made a poor start to their season and despite a good run recently they are still seven points behind Napoli on the important fourth place.

“We can get into the Champions League and I really hope we do,” Vucinic told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“The whole team is in good form at the moment and we have rediscovered our confidence. It would be a total failure to miss out on the top four.

“I think Inter are hot favourites in the Scudetto race, but Milan and Juventus are on the same level.”

Vucinic also commented on their chances in the Champions League, where they can win Group A if they manage to beat French side Bordeaux next week.

“A draw would be enough to get through, but it would undoubtedly dampen our enthusiasm,” Vucinic stressed.

“We want to win and qualify in first place because that would be a huge boost for morale.”
