Enjoy the journey while it lasts, hoping it lasts as long as possible. This is Daniele De Rossi’s philosophy ahead of his return to the Europa League with Milan. Not only is the semi-final at stake, but also his and Roma’s future. “But if I think about how much I’m at risk, we don’t like the path we’re on,” the Giallorossi coach said the day before the match against the Rossoneri. – Since I arrived, I have spent many happy days. I’m thinking about this, and not about the possibility of an extension based on the result.” So take to the field knowing that the advantage gained seven days ago at the San Siro will not let anyone sleep peacefully. In a sold-out Olympic stadium with a Friedkin-era record collection (they will exceed 4 million euros), we will again start with the score 1:0, scored by Mancini, and on the field we will see a similar, but not the same team as one admired in Milan. “In the first match, El Shaarawy on the right flank may have had an unexpected effect – his attention – I expect Pioli to respond, but we shouldn’t spend too much time thinking about the opponent, we shouldn’t misrepresent ourselves.” In the meantime, there will be a forced substitution: Cristante will leave due to suspension and Beauvais will come in. Ndichka was also absent after what happened on Sunday and De Rossi spoke about it for the first time: “The boy is fine, but if we stopped and gave a lesson, we would be in a bad situation. Anyone in my place would have stopped,” explained the coach, who wants to see a “more concrete” Roma than at San Siro, where he missed 5-6 dangerous situations.
