Roma head coach Daniele De Rossi eloquently commented on the defeat of his team from Bayer Leverkusen (0:2) in the first match of the 1/2 final of the Europa League, which took place yesterday in the Italian capital.
"We played against a strong team that in a special way is difficult to stop if they get ahead. We were furious after the first goal we conceded and tried to play even more aggressively to equalise, but we failed to achieve that today.
This is Bayer's season. He has already won the Bundesliga. The players of this team have not only football skills, but also excellent physical fitness, excellent stamina," Football Italia quoted De Rossi as saying.
