Garcia insists Roma can arrest slide

AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia insists they can arrest their recent slide.

The Giallorossi have fallen off the pace in Serie A and Europe in recent weeks.

"When I talk, my words are never empty," said Garcia. "I have faith in my squad, we can do great things. We are building a team with a precise identity and one or two games won't change my beliefs. We must think positive and are fired up.

"My players are eager to get back out there. The Champions League chapter is closed for the moment with us in second place, now we are ready to battle Juventus in Serie A. We are only three points behind and in good shape.

"We must not change mentality, so continue putting the same enthusiasm and joy into the game. Our fans give us positive signs and they are the ultimate judges. They sang throughout the Bayern match, which was wonderful."
