“No one will be preserved in view of Bergamo.” Daniele De Rossi answers clearly on the possible use of Paulo Dybala tomorrow against Bayern Leverkusen in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final: “I will do the assessments I will make with the players and the doctors, but they will not be done in view of Bergamo. We need to carefully evaluate how he is, how the others are doing. A few days have passed .
We won’t be making any assessments ahead of Sunday – explained De Rossi – this match is important for us and we cannot underestimate it. I want to talk about it well with him, with the doctor and I want to understand well. And there are some other things I don’t want to say.”
Three components that are needed to reverse the situation?
“Maybe three are not enough, but sometimes one or two are enough. Mental strength for sure. A little patience and a lot of attention. Without going on to talk about technical gestures. There is no more margin for error, we can no longer At this level, mistakes are made. The good thing is that it wasn’t a final and we can make up for some mistakes made when we were level with them but from now on, if it had been a final, we would have lost. This team has played 47 games and they have never lost and in these 47 games they have played against Borussia and Bayern, teams that are in the final and semi-final of the Champions League. It means that they are a special team and we recognize this. Sometimes they risked it to lose, to go out in the Europa League. You need a perfect match. To be perfect you have to have patience, attention and a big heart.”
