Roma forward Gervinho has admitted that the Serie A title will now be extremely difficult to win due the difference in quality between themselves and Juventus.
The Scudetto is now well out of reach for the Giallorossi as they are 14 points adrift of the Bianconeri, however the Ivory Coast international has reinforced his team’s desire to obtain a place in the Champions League places.
“It will be extremely difficult for us to win the league now,” said the 27-year-old when speaking to AfricaTopSports.com
“There is a huge difference between us and Juventus but we are going to fight hard to get back into the Champions League.”
The 27-year-old has also given his opinion on his Roma team-mate and fellow Ivorian Seydou Doumbia who as so far struggled to make much of an impact at the Stadio Olimpico.
“I am not worried about Doumbia, he has experienced a complete change in the type of league football and he needs time to adapt.
“It is not going to be easy for him but I know his qualities and what he is capable of. Once he has settled in then he will give us a big helping hand.”
Roma currently occupy second place in Serie A although are only one point ahead of their arch rivals Lazio.
