Udinese coach Pasquale Marino is feeling confident ahead of today's clash with Lazio.

After five consecutive defeats, Udinese went into ritiro this week and Marino says: "We worked well, talked over what is happening at the moment and how we must do our best to get out of this situation.

"The problem is more psychological than anything else, as we know that we have the quality to perform.

"The ritiro was useful, as it was accepted with enthusiasm by the players. They are responsible lads and knew this was the right time to come together."
