A difficult mission, but not impossible. Daniele De Rossi’s Roma, despite the 2-0 defeat at the Olimpico, are ready for an evening for strong hearts, the ones needed to push the Giallorossi team towards what would be a real feat.
“We know that it will be difficult to bring the result home but that’s why we are here. I trust my players, they have brought me this far and tomorrow I am sure that we will play the right match to try to do the feat”, the words of De Rossi, ready to show his team the way to try to overturn a complicated situation but, according to the coach, not irremediably compromised.

“Bayer Leverkusen are very strong, everything makes me think that we have what it takes to go on the pitch and create the right atmosphere. We are ready to reopen the question; it’s the last time we have a margin for error, we have a chance to try to be perfect,” he continues. Against defeats: “We will need mental strength, patience and a lot of attention. There have been teams that have risked winning against them, there is the need to play a perfect match because they are a very strong team”, he warns. What made the approach to the match more complicated, however, was the condition of Paulo Dybala: the Argentine, who stopped at half-time against Juventus due to a muscle strain in his adductor which the tests confirmed was not a injury, he left with the team and, if the Giallorossi doctor gives the OK, he could be on the pitch from the 1st minute or during the match in progress.
What is certain is that, as admitted by De Rossi himself, “no one will be preserved in view of Bergamo. We will make the assessments together with the medical staff. We need to see how he is doing and how the others are doing. A couple of days have passed We won’t think about Sunday’s game, but only about tomorrow’s game.”
Precisely for this reason, and given the importance of seeking a comeback that would allow the Giallorossi team to win the third final in three seasons after the winning one in the Conference League and the very bitter one in the Europa League last year, De Rossi will try to field the best training possible.
Defending the posts will once again be Mile Svilar, ready to “play a great game, as a team” with Celik, Mancini, N’dicka and Spinazzola to protect him. In the midfield there is space for what, numbers in hand, is the starting midfield with Pellegrini, Cristante and Paredes. The attack, however, will depend on the availability or otherwise of Dybala, with the Argentine who, if he is not able to grit his teeth and play from the first minute, will sit on the bench leaving room for the trident made up of El Shaarawy, Azmoun and Lukaku . De Rossi is ready, Roma too; the Giallorossi team is ready to experience an evening for strong hearts by chasing a mission that may not be impossible, but which would have the flavor of a sporting achievement.
