In fact, it would be a big loss for Liverpool if they continued to play attacking without paying attention to their defense.
Liverpool are currently in bad shape after trailing by 3 goals in the first leg and having had a series of bad results in the Premier League.

Liverpool's chances are of course very small, I see this realistically and not just because Agg is 3 goals behind but also because Liverpool's recent performance has declined so much that it will be very difficult for them in this match and on the other hand the Atalanta team also has a strong defense. quite strong, especially since they are playing at home, so I think it is quite difficult to expect a surprise in this match.

Since Atalanta have some days to rest before hosting Liverpool on the next Europa game, i don't think it will have an impact on their performance. If Atalanta become tired on that game, it will be an opportunity  for Liverpool to equalize the goals. I think they should play on their best form as they did in the first leg. i don't want Liverpool to qualify to the semifinals, because I Leverkusen to win the trophy. 


That's what i read as well. Before the first leg everyone believed that AC Milan was stronger than Roma and they has a better chance to qualify for the next round, but they proved us wrong, Roma surprised us with a narrow win at Ac Milan home ground, that is why football is unpredicted anything can happen. According to H2H Roma has not defeat Ac Milan in their last 9 meetings, draw 4 and lost 5. I thought they will have a hard time in their last Europe game. Roma lead with one goal, they need to be more defensive in the second leg, Roma need to play with their full strength to qualify for the next round, since it is possible for Milan to make a comeback.

Liverpool have good attacking system and they can score goals but the battle is not only about scoring goals but also about defending their goalkeeper. They can not use all players they have for attacking that weakens their defense system. It will give Atalanta perfect chances to score goals and beat Liverpool eventually.

Liverpool will have to big tasks in the match, scoring goals and avoiding conceded goals to beat Atalanta. A bigger task is beating Atalanta with very big win result from 3 - 0 and bigger. Since the start, it will be hard for Liverpool but they can turn it to more easier situation if they can score a first goal very early. I see Liverpool will not have good chance to beat Atalanta but if they simply enjoy the match as their last match in Europa League, magic might appear.

It will be extremely difficult for Liverpool to score three goals in Atlanta Stadium; Atlanta is a very formidable opponent this season—even in the serie A league, you will know that they are formidable. I don't see Liverpool advancing to the next round of the Europa League because of Liverpool's surprising performance in the last two matches, where they were unable to defeat small teams like Crystal Palace. After Atlanta defeated Liverpool in the same stadium, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool again, resulting in a back-to-back loss. Liverpool's performance today has led me to believe those who said that Liverpool couldn't win the Premier League.

This Europa League title isn't also for Liverpool, as Atlanta will beat them there and even score two more goals in the following game. Atlanta has a strong defence, and if you watch them play against Liverpool, you can see that any team that wants to win will be able to play with them quite effectively. The only team I'm confident can win the title is Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga and will now turn their attention back to the Europa League title.

In the previous match for the first leg, Liverpool performed poorly, losing the home match with big score of 0 - 3 to Atalanta and with this defeat, Liverpool suffered loss on aggregate.
Next, Liverpool will finish the quarter-final match in the second leg away and this is quite stressful condition for Klopp squad because they have to win and be seeded within 4 points to enter the semifinals.
But logically Liverpool should be able to achieve this victory, but what is impossible is to win with 4 goal advantage away from home, if it is only narrow win it might still be possible, but chasing 3 points is difficult.
There is no other way for Klopp to prepare Liverpool for the match and the only effort is to use full performance by placing all the main players, although this does not guarantee that they will have good enough strength.
We don't know what will happen later, we just see how Klopp and Liverpool finish their match.

Experience is not that important, but sometimes it is needed to improve the mentality of the players, but that doesn't mean that a young coach without experience cannot bring his team to win the title.

As is the case with De Rossi, currently many people doubt him, not only now but since the beginning of De Rossi's handling of the Roma team, quite a lot of people have been pessimistic, but slowly De Rossi is proving that he is capable of making Roma much better.

What De Rossi has done with Roma has been quite effective so far with the tactics he has implemented being carried out well by the players despite some criticism but they have been able to achieve positive things.
I think with what De Rossi has shown we should no longer doubt him just because he is not an experienced coach, now Roma is very close to being in the semifinals.

Winning it is not enough and Liverpool need a big win, at least 3 - 0 at Atalanta's home stadium to equalize aggregated result. Pressure on Liverpool is big and if they begin the match with pressure on shoulders, can not control it, they will have more difficulty to beat Atalanta. Atalanta shows that they are able to exploit defense holes from Liverpool and can do it again at their home stadium.

A winning of PSG at Barcelona home stadium can give Liverpool belief that they can do the same in Bergamo. It is more realistic for Liverpool to fight in Europa League than in Premier League and they can bet all for this match against Atalanta.

All the coaches you mentioned all have experience in coaching Junior clubs and also assistant coaches before they became big team coaches, as well as de Rossi who did previously coach SPAL and it can be said that he has learned a lot when he joined the coaching staff of the Italian national team, and after that he coached SPAL that played in Serie C before Roma entrusted him as the current coach,  Is it not called a coaching experience?
I think it's risky for a club to give someone a job to coach the club without any coaching experience.

How can a coach concoct a game strategy when he has no experience at all?
If you think coaching experience is not important because he is a former player of course you are wrong because after all many great players have failed to become great coaches so far, now Alonso has made Leverkusen perform quite well and he managed to surprise many people with all the achievements he got with Leverkusen, is it just by strategy? Of course not because before coaching Leverkusen, Alonso had spent his time coaching Real Madrid Under-14 and also Real Sociedad B, so I think when coaching the youth team he had a little experience that was able to make a lot of changes in the current Leverkusen team and of course with a bit of luck after Bayern Munich collapsed this season.

You are right and I agree with your opinion that the term "epic comeback" will be a new hope for Liverpool to turn things around, even though it is a little impossible because Liverpool have to play away from home, but we all know how Liverpool's players will look if they play at full strength, Liverpool are even able to create big aggregate and without conceding a goal, who knows, there is still a glimmer of hope for Liverpool to score lots of goals at home to their opponents later and Liverpool not conceding a goal so Liverpool still has the chance to qualify for the semifinals. Nothing is impossible if luck is on Liverpool's side in the second leg.

Even Liverpool's own performance in the Premier League was affected by their previous defeat in the Europa League. If Liverpool is able to regain their confidence again, believe me, Liverpool can become a scary club in knocking out their opponents. Currently, Liverpool is in need of motivation and support from fans to achieve their success in the Premier League and also European League if they believe, perhaps Liverpool will regain the confidence to beat their rivals.

Of course, Klopp will try to win this match, but you understand, in order to win back a difference of 3 goals you need to attack a lot, and for this you will have to spend a lot of time in attack, thereby opening up opportunities for Atalanta at the Liverpool goal. And since Atalanta is an attacking team that knows how to score, I think that Klopp simply has no chance in the return match.

Bro, I disagree to what you are saying that experience doesn't matters in world football, especially at the bigger stage in world football, experience is an important player on who is going to be crown champions, just look at sevilla fc, they are the most successful in this uefa Europa league and they hardly not go home with the trophy if they are in the competition because they are very experience in the competition.

Besides this Roma side you are talking about is very experience, without disputing the fact that De rossi is an inexperienced coach, but the core of the team is experience, remember they were the finalist of last year edition, and they were the winners of uefa conference cup the year before last, so the team knows what it entails to go all the way in competition like this, so my brother, experience is an important player in the competition.

They need to have talent and luckiness to win trophies. Every coach needs those factors to win trophies even they are temporary coaches like Di Matteo who won Champions League with Chelsea, Tuchel won Champions League with Chelsea some seasons ago. Luckiness is important to win a single match and a battle but winners must work very hard so that luckiness will be like enough constructive factor for their success.

It's still far for De Rossi and Roma to win Europa League and a first barrier is to win against AC Milan at Olimpico stadium after all. They only need a draw to win in aggregated result but I am sure it will not be an easy task for De Rossi and Roma. After that, Leverkusen will likely be their next opponent and after that one more opponent in the final match.

They will have go through some last challenge to win Europa League that will be a second title in Roma history in Europe.

Experience does not really matter, what matters is your tactics on the night, we have seen many inexperienced coaches go in to win trophies in their debut seasons, coaches like Pep Guardiola, Zizo, and even Xabi Alonso didn't really have the required experience before they were given their first senior jobs as a coach but were all successful and went on to win trophies in their debut seasons at their respective clubs, though experience play a little role but not certainly,

De Rossi might not be an experience coach but he has improved the club better than where he might them,  explaining and passing his tactics perfectly well to his players, now we can see the improved results of his Roma side,

Right now, Liverpool players' minds are probably wondering how they can win this match. I think Liverpool has the squad that can win 3 different victories, but Atalanta can be on the field with a completely defensive order and use the 3-goal advantage to the fullest. They can use their fast players and create dangers with counter attacks. The source of the lack of concentration in the league match may be the Atalanta defeat.

I don't understand your post, which is either because I am not intelligent enough or your post is completely weird. You said that De Rossi is not old enough to be a coach, but how does that work out now that is a successful coach? Is there a minimum age in your country for coaches like for other people who want to have a driving license or what the heck are you talking about? What about Xabi Alonso, is he old enough to be a coach? lol

I wonder if Liverpool can make another miracle happen like they once did against Barcelona when they were 0-3 down from the first leg. But now they are not playing at Anfield Road, which will make it a lot harder. It isn't impossible though, but I don't see it coming. Roma and AC Milan is still a pretty interesting match. Roma isn't parking the bus as much anymore as they used to when Mourinho was still there.

De Rossi is not an experienced coach. But he is already proving that he is very talented. De Rossi is only 40 years old. As he is not old enough to be a coach. So he can mix well with the players and understand the mentality of the players. I think this is why De Rossi has been successful with Roma so far. And most importantly, he has been able to tighten Roma's defense through match tactics.

Roma are now in fourth place in serie A and fighting for the Europa League title. Therefore, Roma should continue to perform well. Otherwise, the team will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.

He surprised me with chosen tactics for that match and it shows that De Rossi is not a naive coach. He does not let his team play attacking in all matches and with his experience as a player from central defensive midfielder and sometimes as a central defender, De Rossi knows importance of defense.

It again shows that De Rossi does not manage Roma with emotion but he has good plan for the club in a long run. The suspension of that match at 70th minute helps Roma players to avoid 20 more minutes of playing and they will have very good preparation for the match with AC Milan in Europa League.

I agree with you. Milan's players missed several easy chances. And this is why they fell behind. At the same time it has to be admitted that Roma's defenders performed very well in this match. Roma would have conceded several goals in this match if the defenders had not done well. As Roma won the first leg. Therefore, if Roma can draw the match in the second leg, then Roma can secure the ticket for the next round. Roma coach De Rossi's main goal for the next match will be to keep Roma's defense strong.



De Rossi's match strategy is quite good. He has adapted well with the Roma players. Bonding between players has been strengthened. This is why the performance of the Roma team is now more consistent than before. The team has been performing well in both Serie A and Europa League in every match.

De Rossi left out several key players in the starting XI against Udinese. Nevertheless, Roma's overall performance was quite good. However, the match was suspended. However, it is expected that Roma will be able to perform well in their next home match against Milan.

There is nothing ridiculous about that case because after all, at least Atalanta also still has three days of rest and also, Atalanta also only played against Verona even though the result was only a draw. But regarding schedules like this, at least the team still has time to rest, unless if for example the match is played exactly the day before the Europa League match is played, then of course Atalanta match in Serie A could have been postponed. But yes, because in reality there is still time to rest for Atalanta, then of course it is still something that naturally happens. Because after all, sometimes their schedule also happens so tight but if they are lucky, then of course they get a more free schedule. But anyway, Atalanta have also won or have capital because of the 3-0 aggregate and thus, Atalanta should still be able to play well, comfortably and safely in the second leg laer.

The second leg will be a crucial match for both teams, Roma's advantage in the first leg certainly makes Roma now more confident to face Ac Milan in the second leg later, the 1-0 victory over Milan is of course at least Roma has silenced many critics of De Rossi at this time, but even so I am quite sure if Milan will be able to turn things around and make Roma eliminated from the Europa League this season,  I have a strong belief that Milan's game will be better than the first leg and Pioli has knows how to stop Roma's attack.

A 1-0 lead, of course will not make Roma play defense, because indeed it will be very risky for Roma, in the first leg we can see how Milan can dominate the game and even Milan managed to create many chances in the game so in my opinion Roma was only lucky to win the first leg over  milan, for the second leg of course Milan will play all out and quite sure Milan will be able to Overcome Roma with a big enough score in the Regardless of whether Roma will play defense or attack  in the match.
