NYON - "Wolfsburg are definitely one of the strongest sides left in the competition. We mustn't fear them though. The Europa League is on the up and there are 16 top teams left in the competition. It's great that there are five Italian clubs involved and a prestigious all-Italian clash between Fiorentina and Roma." This was Marco Fassone's reaction to the Europa League last-16 draw.
"Mancini is giving us a winning mentality and we're on the right track. He would love a great side to win trophies immediately but he's aware of the situation we're in and knows we're trying to strike the right balance to provide him with a squad that's in line with his expectations.
"There's not much to say about Guarin's return to form, he's full of confidence and Mancini has found a position where he can perform at his best. We've got a great youth academy, it's a pipeline for us and Ausilio is assessing which players can stay at the club and which ones will leave to gain experience elsewhere."
