SOUNDBITE (Italian) Rudi Garcia, AS Roma coach

"It's difficult to say what's missing. Right now it's too early at this stage of pre-season. There's much work to do and there's much work ahead of us but we're definitely on the right path. I appreciate very much the approach of the team. Today we beat Real Madrid and we can still make it to the International Champions Cup final. We need to get ready for the next match against Inter, which will be more like a Serie A game, whereas people described the games against Real Madrid and Manchester United as being similar to Champions League matches. The good thing is that there's still plenty of time ahead of us; we're working well. It's very important for the new players. We're doing fine, we've been doing fine since the beginning of pre-season, which is important because the players can see they're really reaping the benefits of their hard work."
