As Roma gears up to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-finals, midfielder Leandro Paredes has sounded a cautionary note about the daunting task that lies ahead. The Argentine World Cup winner acknowledges the impressive form of Xabi Alonso’s side, who have remarkably gone unbeaten in all competitions this season.
Speaking to Roma’s social media channels from the club’s training base in Trigoria, Paredes emphasized the strengths of their German opponents.
In the highly anticipated Europa League semi-final clash between Bayer Leverkusen and Roma, Xabi Alonso has promised a tactical surprise that deviates from the team’s approach last season. The Spaniard, who guided Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title in a remarkable unbeaten campaign, has vowed to unveil a new style of play against the Giallorossi.
The most striking element of Alonso’s game plan is the decision to field Amine Adli as a ‘False 9’, leaving prolific strikers Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick on the bench.
In the ever-evolving landscape of Italian football, Roma’s new manager, Daniele De Rossi, is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to steer the Giallorossi towards success. Ahead of their crucial Serie A clash against Udinese, De Rossi has unveiled a series of strategic lineup changes, underscoring his tactical astuteness and willingness to adapt.
Speaking to DAZN before the highly anticipated encounter at the Dacia Arena, the former Roma legend shed light on the reasoning behind his lineup decisions.
