The Europa League is going great at the moment. Roma wants to push themselves forward in a great way, in terms of which we see the coach of the Roma team is trying to apply great tactics for the players. But I think players really need to learn new strategies and manage the game in different ways. Then the Roma team will be in a good position.

Xabi is very good coach for now in bundesliga.

Bayern leverkusen was unbeaten from 14 games in total. It can be a proof even though xabi can be categorized as a new coach but he shall not be underrated. Mourinho knows so well who xabi alonso is. that's why mourinho will not take a sloppy decision against leverkusen.

As roma must be using full squads to make sure the club will able to beat it. Leverkusen is such a strong team that can't be underrated. It was able climbing up instantly from the bottom to the top in a short time.
Im sure that if xabi already anticipated the strategy that may be using by the special one in upcoming games.

Leverkusen surprisingly lost against koil last night. It has proven that if leverkusen is still having weakness spot at this moment even though it was the first lose after xabi was coming to the club.

These are the current odds given to the first legs of the semi final matchups. I have also noticed some decrease in the performance level of Roma players lately. In the same way, Leverkusen lost their last game in the league against Koln which were a team having no goal left. There are similarities between their results in their last 5 games in their domestic leagues. I still see these two sides very close to each other as result. This pushes me to bet on both teams to score @1.87.

As for the other game between Juventus and Sevilla, I find the odds pretty weird. I would have expected them to have winning odds very close to each other. Because currently there isn't a big difference between these teams. Juventus have had big issues with getting wins in the Serie A for weeks. They weren't the best against Sporting here either. On the other hand, Sevilla are getting better every week. Their morale would be higher than their opponent I think. I'm thinking of betting on Sevilla double chance @2.05 or both teams to score @2.20.

I have no doubt that Mourinho is a very experienced coach. However, Roma's squad is not strong enough. If the Roma management had made a bigger fund and given Mourinho full freedom to build his squad with the players of his choice, the Roma team would have been stronger.
However, Roma's performance this season has been quite good. Their opponents in the Europa League semi-finals are Leverkusen. This team is in pretty good form right now. But their defense is weak. If Mourinho is able to identify Leverkusen's weaknesses and create a good match strategy, Roma should be able to win against Leverkusen.

It’s true Mourinho's records and performances are going down but it doesn't really count as his fault, I can't say Roma has a squad that is good enough to compete at all levels and against top teams in Europe. Against Bayern Leverkusen it will be really tough and because of the records and name Xavi Alonso in the Europa league semi finals.

Sevilla are my favourite for the Europa League title as well. I think like this even in a season that Sevilla have had big difficulties in general. Because their recent performance has started to get more interesting. There is some good level of improvement as it can be clearly seen from their recent results. They don't lose games easily most of the time from now on.

I remember how good they played against Manchester United in the second leg as well. This must be a warning for Juventus to defend them well in their matchup. Juventus need to be more capable of scoring multiple goals in a game as well. If they perform similar to the one against Sporting then their job will be really difficult.

I guess Manchester United was all they needed to get back to winning ways and they got it on a platter of gold. It feels good finally seeing Sevilla picking up from their poor season and getting back to top form again because to defeat Juventus, this level of form will be needed if they are to survive the semi finals.

I think Mourinho's quality has been declining for a long time, because before Mourinho coached AS Roma and the truth is Mourinho has failed to deliver good results at several clubs before. So, even though AS Roma is ready to buy some good players in the upcoming transfer market, but I personally don't believe Mourinho will be able to make AS Roma better and stronger.

But apart from that, of course, at this moment Mourinho just needs to focus on finishing the season well. Because after all, at this moment it is also a fact that Bayer Leverkusen is not a weak team because yes, Bayer Leverkusen has managed to improve so rapidly in the Bundesliga as well. Therefore, AS Roma does not have a big chance to qualify for the final, because of course Bayer Leverkusen will try their best to qualify for the final and this match will never be easy for both of them.

Mourinho is a very peculiar coach, discipline in the team is important to him and I noticed such a thing, if the players and listen to him, then the team shows the best results. On teams with a lot of star players, this didn't work because he had too many conflicts with players who didn't want to give in to his "quirks", like warming up in the parking lot before a match, when he was in Manchester United.

In my opinion, everything is not so bad in Roma, I mean the relationship with the players. And I think if Roma manages to finish the season in the top 4, then Mourinho will definitely get a good budget to strengthen the team, but to tell you the truth, I don’t believe that this is within the power of the current Roma.

Actually, Mourinho is the main reason many people think Roma is going to win this game otherwise Roma is not a strong team in a good situation to beat Leverkusen especially when we consider the recent performance of Leverkusen and how they won Bayern Munich this season, that's why we can even expect to see them winning the game against Roma easily.

Mourinho is a bit tougher what I know, Mou's discipline is indeed very high but there are several players who don't like that behavior for which Mou is punished.
But I always don't deny Mou's badness, he is still a very good coach and always brings his team to win and now Roma is still in the semi-finals stage in the European league, and in Serie A there is a battle for the top 4 in the standings the opportunity is still quite large and depends on the strategy and Mourinho's tactics.

Some times it works and helps Mourinho to force his players to fight for him, fight like they no longer have other matches to play. Some times, it causes adverse effects when his players betray him after deeply disappointed with Mourinho. In Roma, we have yet seen such disappointment popularly and any betray against Mourinho.

Quote

I think that there will be great motivation for Roma if they manage to finish in the top 4 let alone bring the Europa League title even though we think it will be very impossible, but at least this team together with Roma has taken a better step.

They are gradually falling far from top four in Serie A after a draw with Monza. I believe Mourinho will focus more on Europa League as he knows that Roma have smaller chance to finish in top four. Things become worse for Roma after two latest draws against AC Milan and Monza. They both scored a leading goal in each match but failed to protect it till final whistle.

Quote

What's more interesting now is Roma vs Leverkusen.
Xabi Alonso takes the team to a good step. He is a new coach, while Mou is an experienced coach who has won several European championships

Xabi Alonso is new in his coach career but so far he has helped Leverkusen to exit their bad situation months ago. He even helped them to have Europa League semi finals which were unbelievable months ago when they struggled in relegation area of Bundesliga.

However between Bundesliga and Europa League, between formats of domestic league and a cup tournament, there are big differences and I am doubtful that Xabi can do it better than Mourinho in cup matches.

I think Mourinho still has the charisma of being the world's top coach. Indeed, his fame had faded, but he always managed to present a trophy for every club he handled, except for Tottenham. His actions so far are still quite capable, he is also quite successful with Rome with a makeshift squad. This season he has also been able to bring Roma to the semifinals of the Europa League and has the potential to penetrate the final and win the title.

This season Bayern Leverkusen have also managed to impress under Xabi Alonso, but I don't see anything better than Roma.

It's normal for coaches to decline, and that's normal in football. That happened because maybe the style of play is no longer suitable for now because there are many new coaches who carry the style of playing modern football. But in terms of quality, we cannot doubt the quality possessed by a Kose Mourinho, he is one of the coaches who has ever existed in the world of football.

The Europa League is going great at the moment. Roma wants to push themselves forward in a great way, in terms of which we see the coach of the Roma team is trying to apply great tactics for the players.

Indeed I won't doubt that mourinho and Roma have all the chances to reach the final but reaching the final is not the only issue here as they would need to win the actual finals to be call champions and the other semi finals has a feature of teams that is well experience and exposed to European football. Juventus and sevilla are two strong teams that have been doing well especially sevilla, I think like Madrid are called king of the champion league same goes for this excellent sevilla team in the Europa league.

I think that it's better forget to reach final caused by it will be facing on fire team bayern leverkusen. Xabi can't be underestimated by mou caused by mou has given club if xavi gonna be a good coach for the club.

Even pep has been also predicting it.

Quote

But Guardiola was impressed with the 35-year-old and said that as well as being a hugely influential footballer, he took keen interest in the preparation and tactics for matches.

"We were rivals, big rivals when he was at Real Madrid, and after I was so lucky to have him in Munich," Guardiola told a news conference ahead of City's FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough on Saturday.

"He will come back soon as a manager. I bet, wherever he wants, he will become a manager and will be good.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/bayern-munich/story/3079222/bayern-munich-midfielder-xabi-alonso-will-make-a-good-manager-pep-guardiola

That news was old news but what already said by pep and mou in the past were coming true. That's why mourinho shall have used crazy tactic against xabi caused by i do know that if xabi really aware what's gonna be the weakness point from jose mourinho.
As roma must be careful with leverkusen right now. It's caused leverkusen may able to kick as roma out from the europa league this time.

Mou must be thinking so hard about which way that will be used to beat leverkusen.

It is harder to win semi finals in aggregated result than to win only a single match like a final match. You will no longer to worry about anything after a final match and can spend all resources you have for that match.

Champions League final and Europa League final usually are last matches in Europe and the times those matches often are hosted will give participating clubs more concentration for those matches. Usually domestic leagues finish before those finals and in some nations, only their national cup final matches will be hosted after final matches in European Leagues.

I think Roma will have big challenge from Leverkusen but they can beat Leverkusen with many conditions, they play well, be able to score goals, defend good enough to block Leverkusen attacking and prevent the opponent to have goals.

Juventus and sevilla are two strong teams that have been doing well especially sevilla, I think like Madrid are called king of the champion league same goes for this excellent sevilla team in the Europa league.

I consider Sevilla very high but I hope to see Juventus will make an Italian final match in Europa League with AS Roma.

We have Roma vs Leverkusen and Juventus vs Sevilla in the semi finals. Juventus & Roma stand out as big clubs who may be favourites to make the final but I have a sneaky feeling Leverkusen might get to the final. Xabi Alonso was a very clever footballer and he seems to be doing well since he took over there. I’m rooting for Leverkusen, I think Alonso will get them to the final.

Difficult to predict, but with the semifinals now bringing them even tougher to fight for the European final.

Roma vs Leverkusen I only see Roma will achieve that because Mourinho will bring him whereas Xabi Alonso we know is very good but I believe in Mou's team.

Sevilla vs Juventus, this is difficult Sevilla is always looked down upon but the fact is they were able to topple Man United in a landslide, and I believe Sevilla will be another surprise.

The Europa League became more exciting for me, I have all my faith in Juve, because it is a team that deserves to reach the final and win it, Roma alongside Mou too, I would like one of those two teams to win, of course It is my perception, but the most important thing here is that the strongest teams are remaining, they have left many on the way, and many did not believe in Roma and now look where they are, they almost go to a final, that is something that has to be very important for everyone, the Europa League this time is making a difference.

Last chance winning tittle this season for Juventus is Europe League, they have eliminated from Copa Italia after losing from Inter Milan on semifinal. I don't think Juventus will loss motivate for winning Europe League as the only one tittle left in this season, right now Sevilla in the top performance but Juventus have quit well perform in Europe League although not consistent in domestic league. Can't be comparison with Sevilla achievement eliminated Manchester United because Juventus have consistent performance in europe league from playoff round until quarter final.

Both of these teams have the same vision, namely to qualify for the finals this season and win a trophy. Even for Juventus, they have a fairly positive trend in the Europa League from what they have presented in the matches they have played. But as far as that hope goes, they can maximize the first leg to win in front of their own fans.

If the results of the first leg can be maximized by Juventus, then I think Juventus is a strong candidate to win the title this season. Even though their squad doesn't have players that stand out enough this season, the quality of their players is better than Sevilla.

Juventus are technically the most favoured team for the Europa League title if you check the odds by bookies. But it is on paper of course. I also think they are a strong candidate but I'm not sure about whether they are the strongest currently. Because their performance in their recent matches doesn't impress me even a bit. They got so many negative results in the Serie A for example.

I can't even say that they were great against Sporting in the previous round here. They just defended their opponent well which helped them make it by a small gap. But Sevilla would be a completely different challenge for Juventus. Because above all else Sevilla are the team having the best Europa League history in the recent years compared to the other remaining teams.

I'm even giving Sevilla a bigger chance to advance to the finale honestly but the first leg performances might be able to change my mind of course.

I cannot deny that my favorite team to win the Europa League is Juve, of course, from how I have seen Roma and Sevilla play they are very good at being candidates to be champions,but in hindsight I have seen the effort that the Juve to contain everything that has happened to him like the -15 in Serie A and what he has given to be in a good position in the Europa League that he Deserves to win, however here who wins is who scores the goals, so you are things are the ones that have to Focus to achieve the best results, and to be champions of any competition you have to work hard.

I think the two teams must respect each other and not underestimate each other because one of them is one step away from going to the European league finals this season. Maybe I think Sevilla is quite favorite from a historical point of view or even according to their calculations in the European league competition and Juventus did not give impressive results before heading to this match, but I'm pretty sure that Juventus will be able to overcome this problem. What is clear is that these two teams deserve to be in one place and I think both teams will try hard to secure their first win in the first leg later.

Underestimating would make any team lose against any team. You have to be constantly careful about something that would make sense, otherwise it is not going to really work in your favor and you would end up losing to a much worse team. There are 4 teams left, and all of them has to respect each other and consider that they could lose if they do not play right, which is true and that is why it is such a fun period.

When a team gets to as high as semi-finals, then there is no reason to think they may lose, they could be as good as it gets and we need to end up considering that as an option. I personally believe that we can't really make this go away, we need to endure the stress of not knowing who will win, and hope that our bets are profitable.

I also have same feeling about Juventus because recently they are having not good performance in Serie A and Sevilla is surely not easy opponent in UEFA Europa Cup specially after beating Manchester United badly at home things looking favourable for them history is now also favouring them for having spot in final but still we can expect any result because Juventus is trying to rebuild themselves which can create problems for the Sevilla.

Even mostly are feeling we will have final between Sevilla vs Roma but as we have all teams here we also can go with Juventus vs Leverkusen because Leverkusen performance is impressive and their win against Bayern Munich surely give them good confidence for the win here and go through for the Champions League as well Alonso is surely showing great character as coach his hard work can give them good results.

Sevilla has been on a winning streak since they eliminated Manchester United in the Quarter Final, I'm curious to see how they'll perform against Juventus in the Semi Final, especially considering Juventus' recent losses in various leagues. It seems like Juventus may have been lucky to even make it to the Semi Final, they nearly lost to Sporting CP, if not for that slip up, they might have been eliminated from the Europa League since.

Bayern Leverkusen and Roma are two teams that have come a long journey and it is sad that they are meeting in the Semi Final, one of them will go home surely and the team I have in mind is Leverkusen, Roma have high chance of going to final than Bayern Leverkusen, but I'm not sure about Sevilla and Roma that will win this League.

~snip~

In the end I have to think of something different between the domestic league and the Europa League semi-finals of each of the 4 remaining teams. Roma are favorites because of their big names, but their achievements are also not very convincing in Europe. While Leverkusen have done very well in the Bundesliga, I'm not entirely sure they will have the same form in the semi-finals.

The semifinal between Leverkusen and Roma was indeed very balanced in terms of team quality, but it seems Leverkusen's ambition to qualify for the final was difficult for Mourinho to prevent. I think this is a match full of prestige and rivalry, so it should be a match that is not boring to look forward to.

Obviously, there is a difference between the Domestic League and the other Leagues. I mean those who play in the domestic league, must perform consistently to achieve the results they are targeting. while in the Europa League, the two teams only met home and away matches. that means, aside from player factors, performance, strategy, and all that, there will always be a bit of luck involved. the question is, which team will be lucky in this match, regardless of the statistics they have.

This reminds me of Barcelona, Arsenal, United, these three clubs, who are predicted to be finalists in this competition. it's a shame the luck factor wasn't on their side, even though they have quality players if we compare it to other teams. well, at this time we are only talking based on existing data and statistics. therefore, I prefer Leverkusen, regardless of the big name that AS Roma has. after all, we will know the result when this battle is held. However, I agree with what you said, that these two teams are very even. so, it's a shame if this fight doesn't present an exciting and interesting fight. and I hope, as you say. Hopefully, this match will not be a boring match. Uniquely, this match brought together Jose Mourinho and Xabi Alonso.

I think Mourinho's quality has been declining for a long time, because before Mourinho coached AS Roma and the truth is Mourinho has failed to deliver good results at several clubs before. So, even though AS Roma is ready to buy some good players in the upcoming transfer market, but I personally don't believe Mourinho will be able to make AS Roma better and stronger.

But apart from that, of course, at this moment Mourinho just needs to focus on finishing the season well. Because after all, at this moment it is also a fact that Bayer Leverkusen is not a weak team because yes, Bayer Leverkusen has managed to improve so rapidly in the Bundesliga as well. Therefore, AS Roma does not have a big chance to qualify for the final, because of course Bayer Leverkusen will try their best to qualify for the final and this match will never be easy for both of them.

Mourinho has achieved much with an average team. Roma's current biggest signing is Tammy Abraham costing the club £40m. And with average spending the Special One won UEFA Europa Conference League last year and they are in the Europa League semifinals. If Roma feels that he has not done much, let him be sacked. Mourinho will not last one season without a job because he is one of the best currently in the world. If the club invests more in quality new signings, Jose has the ability and experience to manage them.

Leverkusen is occupying the sixth position in the Bundesliga while Roma sits at the seventh position in the Seria A, so I agree that both of them are in the same class currently. Both teams can win this game so the match is unpredictable but Leverkusen has scored twenty-four goals in eleven games making their attack one of the best currently. Roma has not also done badly with nineteen goals in eleven games. So we are expecting to see an attacking game that will produce a high number of goals.

Can you name these clubs? Wherever Mourinho coached, he took titles. The only exception is Tottenham where he was sacked before the cup final against City (whom Tottenham had beaten twice in the league under Mourinho). In general, Tottenham can be ignored as it is a meme club

In all other clubs, Mourinho has been successful.

One of the great things I see about Roma is that there are no great players to accompany Paulo Dybala. I think that if this team adds two more players who will play great matches with Paulo Dybala, then I think that Roma team will become one of the strongest teams.

If this strategy is implement, the Roma midfield will feel empty because several player have to accompany Paulo Dybala on the front lines. We know that especially in the Europa League, Jose Mourinho tends to focus on press opponents starting from the midfield, Roma players are free to move with this strategy and it seems successful with Roma's success in enter the semifinals of the Europa League.
I much prefer to see what Jose Mourinho is doing for AS Roma at the moment

I have no doubt that Mourinho is a very experienced coach. However, Roma's squad is not strong enough. If the Roma management had made a bigger fund and given Mourinho full freedom to build his squad with the players of his choice, the Roma team would have been stronger.
However, Roma's performance this season has been quite good. Their opponents in the Europa League semi-finals are Leverkusen. This team is in pretty good form right now. But their defense is weak. If Mourinho is able to identify Leverkusen's weaknesses and create a good match strategy, Roma should be able to win against Leverkusen.

I agree with you that currently the squad led by Jose Mourinho is still not strong enough, they still have to bring in a few more players to complete positions that have so far been considered to have not given their best performance. True, there is no doubt that Jose Mourinho is a coach who cannot be doubted about his abilities, but still it must be supported by players who can implement their strategies properly.

But that is precisely the challenge for coach Jose Mourinho to take AS Roma in which direction with the current choice of players
But we're not talking about private clubs, back to this match
I think the current situation for AS Roma and Leverkusen is not much different, the consistency of the two teams is still lacking in their respective leagues.
I prefer AS Roma in this comparison
