Roma is preparing to experience another great European evening, at 9pm the Olimpico will be filled with Giallorossi fans ready to support De Rossi’s team for the 90 minutes of the Europa League semi-final first leg. The opponents are the Germans Bayer Leverkusen, German Champions and still unbeaten in all competitions played this year. In fact, Xabi Alonso’s team, in addition to having won the German championship unbeaten and having reached the semi-final of the Europa League, will also have to play in the final of the national cup on 25 May.
Roberto Pruzzo presents the match with a reference to last year: “It seems to me that Leverkusen have had difficulties in Europe, because they seriously risked going out on a couple of occasions and therefore I believe that there is competition, that Roma have the possibility of go to the final and take back what was clumsily taken from them last year. It seems to me that the permits are good.”
Yesterday Taylor was the referee of Borussia Dortmund-Paris Saint-Germain.
Pruzzo again: “Taylor still filming? You go to take back what was clumsily taken from you. The match is tough because you find a strong opponent, I think the conditions are there to play a couple of good matches. I’m sure that the Roma Cup format with Milan is perfect to beat the Germans. It’s different if you find a Roma like Napoli or other matches where they concede too much to their opponents and on the one hand and on the other they don’t lose the matches“
Nando Orsi: “It’s a totally different team to last year. Much stronger, much more padded. Even a little more injured, but luck favors the strong. So in my opinion it’s a very difficult, complicated game. Roma have this opportunity but it is an opportunity against a strong team that no longer has any problems in the league because he won it and therefore focuses on this”.
