We are the only team to which our federation gives one day less to prepare for the European match. The response of my players makes me feel calm, I have a team of wonderful men.”.
Through their social media, immediately after the match, too Daniele Adani criticizedagain, the choice of the federation: “I wanted to do it my heartfelt compliments to Romawho managed the almost impossible feat of winning in 18 minutes of football, both away and at home.” – said the former footballer.
“Away because he played in Udine against Udinese – continued Adani – at home because is protected and represented in Italy, therefore in our home, the home of all of us, from the Italian football system, which in turn you represent and honor when you go to play in Europe. For example when he makes his fifth semi-final in the last seven years.”.
“It’s really not easy to win away and at home against an opponent like Udinese against an injustice. Heartfelt congratulations to AS Roma. Long live football!” – he concluded.
