But why the Bayer Leverkusen he has so much with the Rome? This is what the fans are asking themselves given the not exactly conciliatory statements of Xabi Alonso and, above all, of the Bayer Leverkusen managers. The reason? A year ago the Bayer players did not like (euphemism) either the Roma party in the BayArena locker rooms or some of the attitudes on the pitch which they considered excessive. Of the bench and the players on the pitch.
Bayer-Roma, the words of the German managers
Even in the first leg, according to Bayer Leverkusen, Roma didn’t exactly behave in the best way. Today, in an interview with Corriere della Serawhich had wide prominence in Germany, the CEO of the Germans, Simon Rolfesexplained: “Swe move forward at the end of the first two halves. Our goal is to win the return match as well, we want to demonstrate our superiority. They certainly won’t waste as much time as they did 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 attempted some rather clever 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”. The atmosphere, therefore, will be incandescent this evening.
