The Roma coach Daniele De Rossia few hours before the match against Bayer Leverkusen which will be played this evening, made some statements to the microphones of Rai Sport: “Bayer Leverkusen has a coach and players who have a very specific mentality and have worked hard to reach this point of awareness, it’s a bit like the path we’re trying to start too. So, they’ll play their game and they will try to win it, a goal could put us in difficulty. However, we will try to take advantage of this, we also need to attack and score goals, in the first leg we had our opportunities and it is not certain that we will have fewer in the return. “.
What did the first leg teach you? How can this be addressed more effectively?
“He taught us two things, or rather three things: as long as we were at 0-0 we were clearly in the game with them and we were up to par with a team that is considered among the strongest in the world, we cannot and must not commit mistakes, at this level you pay a lot. Then, even if we were to go under we will have to be more solid, because if we lose distance, with a team that dribbles like this, it becomes difficult to recover the ball, indeed it lends itself to hurting us.
So, we have to be practically perfect, we will have to prepare a good football match and try to put a lot of attention on the pitch because attention and solidity on the pitch make the difference.”
