"Since the arrival of De Rossi, it seems to me that Roma has regained that team spirit that was lost with time with Mourinho. He plays with so much quality and humility. Tactically, too, he è seemed to me to be very smart, he has given the team a precise imprint of play, but he also looks carefully at how the opponents move and tries to implement countermeasures, this è a sign of intelligence. As a former midfielder and orchestral manager, he understood that you have to fear and take into account the strengths of rivals in preparing well for the match" began the former Real Madrid coach.

Next, the former England coach commented on the draw for the Europa League quarterfinals, where Roma will face AC Milan: "One cannot point to a favorite now, because thereé there&39;s also a break for national teams in between and anything can happen. Milan at home è in a favorable moment and the first leg at San Siro can help them, forè Roma è a different team since è De Rossi arrived. The first leg match must be played with great intelligence by the Rossoneri, becauseè we have seen that the Giallorossi have the quality to hurt".

"The draw è has been prohibitive for the Italians, but the positive aspect of having a Euroderby è that we will have with certainty an Italian team in the semifinals, and è already; very important. Both Milan and Roma will have to deal with a very complicated schedule, as there will also be the two derbies in the league straddling the two challenges. The one in Milan will be less important for the standings, but there will be Inter's anger. In the one in the capital, on the other hand, the match against Lazio will be very heated, sinceè both Capitoline teams are fighting to get to the Champions League" concluded Fabio Capello.
