Roma midfielder Nemanja Matic commented on the team's 1-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
"I try to do my best to help the team. At this stage of the season, we have problems with injuries and the absence of many key players. I am here to help the team with my experience.
Yes, of course I knew about the club, I followed Roma before I came here. However, I did not expect it to be such a defensive team. When we have to defend, we do it, and when we have to attack, we try to score goals, like today. Sometimes we have difficulties with this element of the game. Against a team like Bayer, it's important to play the best possible defence," Matić told DAZN.
