The head coach “Roma” Daniele De Rossi after the second leg of the Europa League ½ finals, he declared that his team had played heroically in the match against “Bayer”.
The match took place in Leverkusen and ended with a score of 2:2. Midfielder Leandro Paredes scored twice for the Romans, both goals coming from the penalty spot. The hosts were able to come back from a goal down thanks to an own goal from defender Gianluca Mancini; In stoppage time, Josip Stanisic equalized the score at 2:2. Bayer won on aggregate (4:2) and reached the Europa League final.
– We played a heroic game – the opponents are strong. In the first half we played successfully the first 25 minutes, like in Rome. We had a few hits. There is this skill of testing an opponent – sometimes it can yield results. The guys showed an incredible game. Two days ago, we gave everything against Juventus on the Olympic field… Today, it’s another match that is costly physically and psychologically. Bayer played well, but when, having already won back, you approach a real miracle and realize that no one has won here yet, and then you get a ridiculous own goal, it hurts. Well, let’s start again in the same spirit,” quotes De Rossi on the UEFA website.
In the final of the Europa League, Bayer will face Atalanta, the meeting will take place on May 22 in Dublin.
