“I have shown that I am worthy of this bench. I am proud.” Daniele De RossiRoma coach, spoke on the eve of the return match of the Europa League against Milan, which offers a European semi-final: “We won’t have to do anything dramatically different compared to the first leg, we are becoming a recognizable team. We will play a match similar, we will try to hurt Milan by holding the ball and creating a lot. If we managed to score tomorrow it would be a great blow for them.”
The coach didn’t want to say anything about the future: “Tomorrow is important because I don’t want it to end. Pellegrini said something that made me emotional: It’s a path to being happy and what’s more important? More important than our joy , of our glory? If we think about how much I’m at risk, how long it will last, we don’t enjoy what we’re doing. Since I arrived, I’ve spent many happy days renewal based on tomorrow’s result.”
The latest from Trigoria – De Rossi has to do without his totem of midfielder Cristante, out due to disqualification. In his place Bove, in a trio completed by Paredes and Pellegrini. It remains to be understood how the Giallorossi captain’s position will evolve over the course of the match, starting from midfielder in the 4-3-3. Possible confirmation of El Shaarawy on the right, with Lukaku in the middle and Dybala on the opposite front in the offensive trident. Svilar between the posts, protected by a defense with Celik, Mancini, Smalling and Spinazzola.
