First problems for Daniele De Rossi: the Roma coach begins to tremble in case of failure to reach a place in the Champions League.
After the terrible disappointment of being eliminated fromEuropa League due to the 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusenthe Rome lost in the championship on the pitchAtalanta. A 2-1 defeat which does not tell the story of the enormous gap that was seen on the pitch between the two teams.
The Nerazzurri literally dominated from start to finish but were unable to materialize the many scoring opportunities they created. At the end of the match Daniele De Rossi he didn’t hide and in the press conference he admitted Roma’s terrible performance: “The first twenty minutes of the second half seemed similar to the first half.
The penalty gave us the illusion that it could have ended differently. It was a one-sided game, they are difficult to face. This is our level right now, at the end of this tour de force that would kill any team.”
With this success, Atalanta is now one step away from qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League. For the mathematical conquest, three points are missing from the men of Gasperini. Conversely, things have become tremendously complicated for Roma.
Roma, the defeat against Atalanta complicates the Champions League race
The Giallorossi team is currently in sixth place in the standings with 60 points, -3 from the Bergamo team. The next matches in the championship will be against Genoa at the Olimpico and others Empoli to Castellani.
De Rossi’s team, however, risks having to root for them Atalanta in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen to hope to add the Champions League, always in case they finish sixth in the rankings. Atalanta, regardless, must not finish higher than fifth.
Agresti’s analysis of Roma’s moment
In short, it will be a very intense end to the season for Roma, who however risk not getting a place in the Champions League. Stefano Agrestijournalist from La Gazzetta dello Sportto the microphones of Radio Radioexpressed himself as follows on the Giallorossi’s moment: “This is a team that de Rossi he inherited it, he didn’t build it based on his ideas.
But it is also true that with this squad he achieved great results at the beginning, but then something changed, perhaps also due to tiredness. However she is still sixth and fighting for the Champions. When she took it he was ninth and it was a group that seemed to have lost itself. Now he must not fail the last two games.”
