Roma manager Daniele De Rossi was asked to share his views on the upcoming Europa League semifinal with Bayer Leverkusen.

After the Giallorossi’s 2-2 draw with Napoli, De Rossi spoke to DAZN about what he expects from the next European fixture against this year’s German champions.

“I also considered that Milan were very strong, I was also afraid of Brighton and Feyenoord, they are similar teams, they all play good football.”

“Preparing matches against teams that want to play a specific brand of football is more difficult. We will have to be careful in defense and try not to let them have the ball.”

“They have very good players in possession, if you take the ball away from them they get nervous. We have to be perfect on offense and defense. They never lose, they always seem to equalize at the end, they have something special.”

“They are undefeated but there are no unbeatable teams,” he added.
