CORSERA – In view of tonight’s return of the semi-final of Europa League Between Rome And Bayer Leverkusen the CEO of the Germans Simon Rolfes gave an exclusive interview to the newspaper. These are his words: “We are ahead at the end of the first two halves. Our objective is to win the return match as well, we want to demonstrate our superiority. They certainly won’t waste as much time as happened a year ago, but I don’t know if it will be a more calm and peaceful match. In the match a week ago, Roma looked for some slightly cunning fouls. The referee reacted better, he was more reactive than a year ago. He calmed down the provocations and didn’t consider every dive a foul.”
When did you realize it was going to be a great season?
“In the league, when in February we beat Bayern Munich 3-0, going +5 in the standings. In Europe we’re thinking about going to the final…”.
How have you improved compared to a year ago?
“We had a good base, but we were missing some pieces of the puzzle. during the year there would have been”.
How do you explain the many goals in the last minutes of the match?
“Our game system allows us to create many opportunities. It’s not just one player who knows how to score in added time, it’s the whole team capable of doing so. When, in a season, 13 players score from the eightieth onwards, certainly It can’t be a coincidence.”
