The match between Atlanta and Roma is going to be very interesting. I also believe that the match is going to be very important for both of them. Because that match is going to decide which team is going to finish ahead and in the fifth position.

Roma will be making a big mistake if they just concentrate on the Europa League and do not concentrate on the Serie A at all. Because you know, Roma will not actually be able to achieve anything more in the Europa League. Everything does suggest that they are going to lose against Leverkusen in the second leg as well. Or even if they do not lose, there is a very high chance that they are not going to advance through the next stage of the Europa League. So they should concentrate on the Serie A. At least they will be able to finish in the fifth position.

It is undeniable that Mourinho has built a solid foundation within the Roma squad, instilling a winning mentality even if it's just the Conference League, and last season Mourinho almost succeeded in presenting the Europa League trophy before finally falling to Sevilla in the final match. Now, De Rossi has taken over the leadership with Mourinho legacy squad, and so far De Rossi has managed to improve Roma performance in Serie A.

In terms of experience and achievements, there is no need to compare Mourinho with De Rossi, each era has its own people. De Rossi in his first season showed a good performance in domestic competitions, but in the Europa League his steps were unlucky, because he had to face a team that was never defeated, namely Leverkusen. It takes magic to turn things around in the second leg, it seems Roma steps just capable reach the semifinal stage this season.

The very realistic opportunity to be pursued is to finish in the Champions League zone or finish in the Europa League zone, the next three remaining matches must be utilized properly. De Rossi has reportedly received a permanent contract extension, management considers that he can meet next season expectations, but before that there is still unfinished business this season.

Yes, even though De Rossi entered as Roma coach in the middle of this season, his prospects are already very big for Roma. So it could be said that De Rossi really knows what style of play is suitable for Roma players. The reason is, after De Rossi became Roma coach, Roma always won in almost every match. Even last week, Roma managed to hold Juventus to a draw. This is a clear prospect for Roma after the coaching chair was taken over by De Rossi. Apart from that, Roma also managed to advance to the semifinals of the Europa League, so this is clear evidence that Roma has really changed drastically after Jose Mourinho left.

And next season will be very suitable as a benchmark for how De Rossi trains Roma. Will it be better than now, or will it suffer the same fate as Mourinho as you say (not very good). But, I hope that next season De Rossi can make Roma better than now. So the competition in Serie A becomes increasingly fierce and interesting. Apart from that, next season, if for example De Rossi wants to make Roma much better than the current season, I think Roma will have to bring in some very good players (especially midfielders and wingers). Because judging from the flow of attacks that Roma has, currently it still looks less than optimal. So it would be very good if next season Roma could bring in several midfielders and wingers. So the flow of attacks can be much sharper.

The fun fact about Jose Mourinho is we know he got the knowledge and he could make a change in Roma, he was maybe the best coach in the world after the performance we saw from him when he was working at Inter Milan or Porto. But we should accept that Mourinho didn't have a good performance in Roma even after the chance they gave him. While the young coach of Roma, De Rossi, who has not experienced enough and is not a famous coach like Mourinho had a perfect performance so far and he is about to make Roma get the Champions League ticket.

Udinese is going to play against Lecce,Empoli and Frosinone in the next three matches that are remaining for them in this season. if we look at that, we will see they will play against the two teams that are right above them and if they are able to beat one of those teams, I think there is a great chance for them to actually get out of the relegation zone. And if they are able to beat both of them, it is obviously going to be an incredible result for Udinese.

However, that is definitely going to be really hard. But I believe they have the capability to win at least one of them and avoid losses in the other two. That means five points for them. But it is going to be really good if they are able to beat either Empoli or Frosinone. That is going to give them the biggest chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And I think if they are capable of getting one point against Napoli, they are capable of winning against one of those two teams.

I am pretty sure that they are going to lose the Leverkusen game anyway, they should not really care about that game all that much because they are not going to go there at all. I am not sure about the champions league though? Is it because the cup game or something?

I think they are fighting for the europa league and not champions leage, no? If that is the case then they should definitely play their hearts out because Atalanta will definitely do that, while Atalanta also has their own game to play against Marseille as well so both teams are in semi-similar situations if you ask me and mean a lot to win that much money from UCL next season. There is like 30 million euros or so to be made from being in the group stages of UCL so both teams would benefit highly from that kind of money.

Even though Mourinho is a failed, at least he has given Roma the UEFA conference league trophy. Of course i know it is UEFA's lowest level competition trophy, but become a champion is still a title which is a part of success achieved by coaches and players. Mourinho failed to fix AS Roma in Serie A, but Mourinho has written his name in the history of the UEFA conference league competition already.

The coach is one of the main factors in achieving success a team, although he does not have much experience but at least the coach is able to lift the morale and mentality of his players, besides that strategic and tactical maneuvers as well as good training patterns are certainly important factors that must be owned by a coach, we can see how Xavi and Xabi can build Barcelona and Leverkusen well because with intelligence and experience or the knowledge he gained as a player, while De Rossi I think he is also starting to go in a better direction although it is not as good as Xavi and Xabi are doing at the moment.

I think we can't compare Mourinho and De Rossi at the moment, although mourinho was sacked because he was considered unsuccessful at Roma but although I think for now De Rossi can go in a better direction because of all Mourinho legacy in Rome, besides that I think Mourinho has more advantages because he is more senior than De Rossi in coaching a team so far,  So it is better for us to see how much De Rossi is capable of bringing Roma this season than we have to keep remember about what Mourinho has given  for Roma so far.

This may come as a surprise to you, but the fact that Roma still has a chance to get into the Champions League is largely due to Mourinho, who won the Conference League and then led Roma to the Europa League final. This greatly raised Italy's ranking in UEFA and allowed it to receive the 5th ticket.
In the old Champions League format, the season would have been over for Roma a long time ago, since the 5th place would have no meaning.

It is indeed very difficult to catch up with the 2 goals they lost in the first leg and that happened at their own home. Now they will play as a visiting team, and we know how terrible Leverkusen is, so to get through to the final is not an easy thing for them to do. It's not impossible, but it will be difficult to beat Leverkusen, who have performed extraordinary this season.

IN Serie A, the 2 draws they achieved in the last 2 matches means they are in 5th place with the same points as Atalanta, but Atalanta still has 1 match ahead. The last 3 matches they have will determine whether they will be able to be in the top 5 or not. Not only that, because they will also hope that something bad happens to Atalanta in their match. Because if Atalanta can wipe out the remaining matches they have, then it is certain that AS Roma will not be able to be in 5th position at the end of the standings.

Indeed, Mourinho managed to deliver the Conference League trophy for AS Roma but anyway, the reality is that Mourinho still failed in Serie A. Also about De Rossi, who lately seems to be experiencing a decline in consistency, but at least De Rossi managed to make a rapid improvement to AS Roma's performance and results in Serie A. But perhaps also, because of the increasingly difficult schedule and opponents lately in Serie A and in the Europa League, making De Rossi failed to make consistent performance of AS Roma. But even so, at least there is still a chance for AS Roma to get a Champion League ticket even though indeed, it will not be easy to compete with Atalanta but still, whatever the result is still possible to happen because they still have a chance.

Difficult for Roma qualify to Europe League final after defeating on first leg as home match over 2-0 and not easy defeating Bayern Leverkusen keep unbeaten team reach up to 48 matches all competition. Roma get not good condition currently after losing points in domestic league and defeated first leg match in Europe League, has four points remaining and other side not only Roma race with top fourth position but also Atalanta has the same opportunity behind have 60 points of the same with Roma's points.

If get failure for qualifying to final round of Europe League, Roma must return to focus on domestic league match behind few matches left for securing top forth position standings. Its too long for Roma not participants in UEFA Champion League behind they are most historical team in Serie A.

I understand that people actually became really hopeful and were also expecting a lot from the new coach as soon as he was made the coach and was able to win three matches or four matches in a row if I recall correctly. I think people are actually forgetting the fact that those matches were not as hard as they could have gotten in this season.

I also understand that a win is a win. But there is definitely a difference between winning against Inter and winning against Salernitana. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Anyway, the bottom line is, the coach has not had a long time with the team. that’s why I think we should give him more time. So far what he has shown, has definitely not been a big improvement compared to what it was before he came in as the coach. Maybe with time, he will be able to bring in better results. But if they are able to at least finish in a position from where they will be able to take part in European competition next season, it is going to be a bit of a motivation for them.

The current coach have slim possibilities of heightend the club's status and we know what it exactly means for them. Roma have failed to meet up the standard requirements of elite team, though they will continue to push for excellent result. AS Roma former coach, José Mourinho was listed among the favorite coach to bring the very best for AS Roma and till date, they've always been a challenging coach for titles. Atleast he lifted the club's first Conference league Cup for them.

It is impossible as you said but luck does happen sometimes in football just as we have seen how the highly rated PSG got eliminated yesterday in the UEFA Champions League by an underrated semifinalist Dortmund. Although Roma’s case is different since Leverkusen has already won the first leg match away from home, and winning Roma at home will be an easy task for them.
De Rossi is trying as Roma’s head coach, I think if he is given more time, he can do better because he have good tactics that can lead Roma to the limelight. I think the team need to be patient and played but in another Europa League next season since getting to the fourth position will be difficult for them.

It will be impossible for Roma to qualify to the finals, because Leverkusen are more mean and desperate to win Europa this season. Let De Rossi think more of surviving on their domestic league to see if it will be possible for them to be in UCL next season or Europa, because that is where will determine the competition they will be playing next season in Europe. De Rossi has shown that he can do better next season if he is given the opportunity, by the way he revived the club after he took over from the former manager Mourinho.

Roma also has a chance of being left without the Champions League next season, I don’t know how important this is for Chiesa, but leaving the team given this is not the best decision. In addition, Juventus does not want to let Chiesa go and planned to extend his contract next year. Although if we evaluate Chiesa’s results based on his position, considering that he played 33 matches for Juventus and scored only 8 goals, then this is not so much, but since Juventus’ attacking potential is already weak, they will not want to lose Chiesa.

It's true what you say, all the players selected in the Morinho era were very good, but in my opinion Morinho's strategy was so bad that his squad was unable to provide a very good performance to be able to compete with other teams at that time. When De Rossi was appointed as As Roma coach, everything now looked different in terms of strategy and his playing pattern looked very good in attack and defense. This is a sign that De Rossi has succeeded in reviving As Roma's performance so that they are able to compete with other teams. I am sure that when next season starts again, As Roma will be better in terms of performance and train more consistently with De Rossi. For the top 4 positions, De Rossi will definitely continue to struggle to provide truly reliable strategies and formations for his squad, so that they can achieve victory in every match.

I like the coaching style and strategies that De Rossi applies to Roma, so their performance has improved since Jose Mourinho left, but I hope that De Rossi doesn't have the same fate as Jose Mourinho, at the start of coaching Roma, Jose Mourinho looked really good. However, over time, Roma's performance has declined, next season will determine whether De Rossi is the right coach to coach Roma or not at all.

I think As Roma has gotten better since Mourinho left, it's just not that easy to adapt to the new coach De Rossi but so far since being led by De Rossi I think it's been pretty good, it's just that it will take time next season to see As Roma perform even better. , I don't know if the failure at UEL will fire De Rossi or not but they still have a chance to play in UEL next season if they succeed in overthrowing Atalanta and succeed in defeating them this week, hoping that Atalanta will make a mistake.

As Roma looks better since being coached by De Rossi. I think if they have to change coaches again it won't help them perform better next season. I think As Roma should give that opportunity to De Rossi to be able to lead As Roma next season at least. new players to fill the main squad so that it can be better, As Roma still has hope of winning against Leverkusen and also Atalanta, but it all depends on De Rossi arranging a strategy for his team so that they can give a surprise in the UEL or in the remaining Italian league matches this season. I think De Rossi needs another season for As Roma to adapt.
