A restructured Roma manages the great advantage from the first leg with maturity, and confirms itself as a team with a European vocation.
After the pyrotechnic 4-0 in the first leg, the big challenge for Roma was to don’t settle down. Despite the many absences and the quality of play offered by Dezerbia’s Brighton, the Giallorossi carried out their task as best they could, returning from the perfidious Albion with a painless 1-0;
De Rossi confirms the 4-3-3 which has given him a lot of satisfaction so far, however resorting to a massive turnover, thanks to Lukaku’s KO and Dybala’s less than optimal conditions. The team approached the match well, immediately trying not to leave the command of the operations to Brighton, but the escort trident Zalewski-Azmoun-Baldanzi gives the impression of being a little too light. Even more than the offensive men, however, what Roma lack is the expert direction of Paredes and his newfound ability to slow down and accelerate the pace of possession as needed. It is no coincidence that, after a good start sealed by theeurogol of the Iranian questionably canceled, it is the English who gradually secure dominance;

The great goal of Welbeck in the 37th minute he guaranteed us a second half that was not without emotions, putting the result back in the balance. Roma did not change men or approach and in the second half, encouraged by the break, they showed up aggressive again with the desire to score the goal that would guarantee qualification. The passing of the minutes makes the English more electrified, who they try everything with the arrivals of Fati and Ferguson, but the Giallorossi have the merit of playing well with the clock and never overwhelming themselves too much. The guarantee between the posts that corresponds to the name of will take care of the rest Mile Svilar;
Daniele De Rossi, albeit with the diplomacy that distinguishes him, immediately tried to overturn Mourinho’s assumption according to which this team cannot play football without Dybala and Lukaku. The facts proved him right on an evening in which, also thanks to the great performance of the first leg, his top and most experienced players were out and he found himself fielding an 11 that the Portuguese coach would have defined as at least “inadequate”. His Roma didn’t shine but did a serious game, prepared very well, and had the merit of not being crushed by an opponent who was extremely comfortable with the ball. In short, you did what was needed, with a good dose of personality, to get through a round that was anything but simple against a team coming from the richest league in the world, without even having to resort to the starters left on the bench as a precaution;
In addition to the increasingly surprising Mile Svilar, the star of Roma shines brightly Evan N’Dicka, increasingly unblemished leader of the rearguard. Pellegrini and Azmoun play a commendable game for sacrifice, while it was reasonable to expect something more from the impalpable Zalewski. For the fourth year in a row the Giallorossi are among the top 8 of the European competition in which they participate: to dream of playing it all the way, against teams of the caliber of Liverpool and Leverkusen, extraordinary performances will be needed. Which, however, this team seems to have in its grasp, in light of what was seen in the first leg match.
