Ranocchia: Inter never give up

Jan 19, 2013 10:35:00 AM

The Italy defender has insisted that the Giuseppe Meazza side always keep going, and is eagerly anticipating the match against Roma on Sunday

Andrea Ranocchia has hailed Inter's fighting spirit and has stressed that the Nerazzurri always keep believing in themselves.

The Giuseppe Meazza side gave away a two-goal lead in the Coppa Italia match against Bologna on Tuesday, but they bounced back and eventually emerged victorious thanks to a late winner from the defender.

"We kept believing right till the end in the Coppa Italia, we're a team that never gives up and now we'll try and get back to the top of the league," Ranocchia was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

"Now we've got two tough matches coming up, but they'll be fun to play. Roma have a great front line, they attack the box with numbers and try to overload you."

Ranocchia then went on to single out Francesco Totti as Roma's main attacking threat.

"Will Totti play? He's a champion, in some ways it'd be better if he weren't playing but it's always fun to play against great players."

Sunday's match at the Stadio Olimpico is scheduled to kick off at 20:45CET.
