Roma, Daniele De Rossi updates on Romelu Lukaku’s condition
Thusì Roma coach Daniele De Rossi updated on Romelu Lukaku’s condition in the press conference on the eve of the Europa League semi-final first leg against Bayer Leverkusen: “He has very little training on his legs, but è he has been out very little. We will take another day to evaluate. He looks pretty good, maybe we will push a little more today and then we will decide. Some doubts I still have,” he added. Smalling, on the other hand, did a full training session on the line, I hope and think to recover both of them".
Speaking about Bayer Leverkusen, De Rossi then said: "To fear there's everything: the way they play, they have a long results streak, I really respect their coach and they have more work behind them with the same coach. But we want to achieve our goals, ours è a team that believes and has heart. From this point of view we are similar. Both teams will fight until the last second". Talking about tomorrow's possible line-up, he then concluded: "The three-man defense è an idea, I like the idea of playing it man-to-man, of the me or you. If done well the three-man defense è interesting, I am thinking about it. It canò be an important countermove".
Instead, these are the words of Leandro Paredes: "I think the whole team has grown with the arrival of De Rossi, thanks to the enthusiasm he has brought us. His style of play è much better for me and for the team and this has made us grow. Getting to the semifinals of Europe and facing a team like them will be very nice, we hope to do well, to win you have to give 100 percent goals".
Asked how he found De Rossi as a coach instead after playing with him, the Argentine said: "For me he was already a coach when we played together. I was always close to him, he always treated me well. To have him as a coach è a pleasure and an honor. I hope to continue to work well for him and for the team".
