After De Rossi took over the coaching bench in the Roma squad, there have been quite good changes in Roma's performance in Serie A. But in the European League, Roma have not actually shown good results. Like in the playoff round, Roma even had to go through a penalty shootout just to qualify for the round of 16. Which indicates that De Rossi is ready for Serie A but he is still not sure about the European League. But if you compare the performance of the two teams, namely Brighton and Roma, in their respective leagues, it will be seen that Roma is still better at the moment. Because Brighton just lost to Fullham and Wolves. So there is no big hope for Brighton to win. but for Roma who are getting good results in the Italian League or Serie A. So it seems like Roma are in a better position at the moment. So betting on Roma is probably what I will think about for that match.

I think everyone will favor Roma in that match. People don't even include Brighton as one of the strong candidates for UEFA European champions. Their performance in the English league has not been very good in the last few matches. They play inconsistently with wins and losses. This is different from Roma who became very good when coached by De Rossi. They only lost to Inter Milan which is the strongest team in Serie A. So I think Roma will win that match. But Brighton could be an underrated team and could surprise people. Let's see!

Xabi is doing his management impressive with Leverkusen and he is going to complete this season with Bundesliga title that is on their hands. Another title they can get is Europa League and last season they went to a semi final round already.

If Xabi can win one or two titles with Leverkusen, he will make bigger impression and might receive good offers from big clubs in Europe includes Liverpool.

De Rossi looks similarly to Xabi Alonso last season and there was doubt on Xabi's ability even last season, he helped Leverkusen played very well in second half of season. De Rossi will need one more season to prove his management ability and he can take Xabi Alonso as a big lesson.

AS Roma have more seasons participating in Europe competitions and Brighton can not compare with Roma on that. Player quality tends to skew on AS Roma and a stronger team is Roma. Their task is to turn the advantage on paper to good results on field in next two matches between Roma and Brighton. I don't have much belief in Brighton that they will beat Roma in one, two or in an aggregated result.

My only problem seeing Leverkusen winning this thropie is i already see them winning the Bundesliga and with both tournaments in their pocket seems so good to be true, and also they still undefeated so more above than the "so good to be true".

But well it can happen, for me Liverpool or a cinderella or medium team can defeat them.

Leverkusen is expected to be one of the teams that can win the Europa League trophy this season, Xabi Alonso squad is now getting a lot of support from various circles. Thanks to the cool hands of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen was transformed into a team challenging for the title in the Europa League, their unbeaten record puts them on par with Liverpool. In terms of momentum, this is the best season for Leverkusen, the Europa League trophy is the perfect complement to this season, Where the Bundesliga trophy and the DFB Pokal trophy are very close to them in this moment.

Now no one doubts De Rossi anymore after the evidence that has been shown so far.
At the beginning of his arrival to replace Jose Mourinho, De Rossi was quite doubtful because De Rossi did not have sufficient experience, but so far he has been able to silence the mouths of those who doubted him.
Their defeat against Inter Milan was quite normal and being able to recover in the next match after that defeat was extraordinary, De Rossi has really been quite successful now and I have no doubt that they will be able to finish in the top 4 according to the target given by management for De Rossi at the beginning of his arrival.

Against Brighton it will certainly be fierce but Roma has a very large percentage of being able to qualify for the next round. In terms of strength, the two teams are not much different but Roma have a better mentality on the European stage than Brighton and this is what makes Roma a little favorite in my opinion. .
After seeing the progress of Roma's increasing performance, I have no hesitation in betting on their victory.

Currently Roma continues to progress quite positively in the league after De Rossi took over the team from Mourinho, the defeat to Intermilan became the first defeat for De Rossi, although they lost to Intermilan but we can see throughout the game Roma managed to make Intermilan quite difficult and even Roma managed to keep up with Intermilan game at that time, I think Roma current performance in the hands of De Rossi has become better and they have a balanced team which is quite stable at the moment.

Against Brighton in europa league will be another proof for De Rossi after many people doubted his capacity when replacing Mourinho, at this time the performance of Roma and Brighton is actually not too different so that both teams have a great chance to get a victory in the game, but I think, whoever team is able to dominate will be able to win the first leg europa league later, Brighton game, which has so far been more dominant in attacking play from both wings, should be anticipated by Roma who tend to have weaknesses on both sides of their game so far.

Change of coach is surely having positive impact on Roma performance because now things are going very impressive, and their attack is also having good positive change which is helping them for having good wins specially in last all games they score too many goals which are big change because under José Mourinho they were not able to perform like this which is surely miserable because he is also good quality coach, but team was under pressure and their performance was also not good as they needed.

Now with their change of strategy and performance we are expecting good end of the season for them and their opponent Brighton is also good, but they are having no experience like Roma which is having good history in Europa League, and they can also do good in this season again with this sudden change is good for them and their fans.

It would be an exaggeration to say Brighton can't possibly win against AS Roma at their own ground. Because this is football and in football all have a chance, the difference is the percentage of how much chance each team has, in this case AS Roma and Brighton. I agree that AS Roma is the favorite team, but that does not necessarily guarantee they will win in this match, after all Brighton itself will certainly be as much as possible to provide resistance to AS Roma.
Actually Brighton is an ordinary team, but if you look at their journey in the Premier League, this team becomes very dangerous when dealing with teams that are stronger than them. For some reason, maybe their motivation and enthusiasm are greater when dealing with stronger teams, so that it encourages them to be able to play better and try to show that they are also able to provide resistance to teams that are better than them. This must be watched out by AS Roma, they cannot just underestimate their potential opponents this time.

There is a hand full of coaches that in my opinion is irreplaceable. It's Guardiola, Klopp and maybe Ancelotti who has is unique style as well. You could count Zidane because he has been impressively successful early in his career, but in my opinion he is not this type of coach like Klopp or Guardiola. He might be closer to Ancelotti in terms of his style and approach to training teams or giving his players advice during games.

But Manchester City has been trying hard to convince Guardiola to stay for a longer period of time. Guardiola once had the rule to not stay longer for three years or so at one club. Klopp stayed at Liverpool for almost a decade.

But in this particular case I think Klopp take the right decision. It is tough for everyone, but he really has great timing. He has built his legacy there and they are playing a great season. There couldn't be a better goodbye for him and he has not won the Europa League yet. It is the one title that's missing (besides the Conference League).

But again, it couldn't get any better if Alonso meets Klopp in the final with Leverkusen and Klopp literally hands over his team to Alonso because he decides to go there next season.

Yeah it looks like a sure win for Roma, there's no way Brighton will able to beat them. This is a good chance to bet because the money line odds Roma to win is @2.10, that's quite high. Liverpool vs Sparta Prague is also worth to bet, even though Liverpool will play without full squad, but we've seen Liverpool's Academy can play so well against Southampton. Sparta Prague is nothing different to Southampton.

Brighton performed so poorly recently but don't underestimate it. The history says that if a club that played so badly in the domestic league is not guaranteed to have the same result in another competition. Roma must always be ready to beat brightton. This is gonna be another great achievement from rossi if he can keep his winstreak with as roma.
Roma played even better compared to when mourinho was still there as a coach. Never try to doubt it caused by roma will come back stronger soon. The odds are quite good for roma considering the first leg will happen at home. Im not doubting the capability of rossi in this match.

Rossi is likely to win the first leg with good score against roma and fans shall believe on him. Rossi's result in roma is not as bad as some people might think and stop underestimating him by comparing him with jose mourinho. Even though mou gave roma a trophy it does not change the fact if rossi is better than him now.
The fans shall give him more credit instead of always judge him. So far so good. There's nothing to change from him in roma. Roma has become even more persistent compared to the last season.

Roma was only losing against intermilan since rossi became a new appointment and i must admit that if roma is very strong now. No club can stick on intermilan even juventus also has a very big gap with the intermilan.
Fans shall merit rossi current potential as a coach.

They will play against Brighton in 2 days and this match is very important for them. Roma suffered its last defeat against Inter. I think they will beat Brighton. They will play in Italy in the first match. I think they will easily beat Brighton with their current home performance. Roma is doing very well in Serie A.

Yeah you are really right but I still want you to understand that for a team to do well in a match their previous/recent performance is very important to know if they ate lose or strong to win a game from my.own analysis ASRoma is going to win Brighton at a take because Brighton team is not strong enough unless they will go in training field to give themselves a better fitness to conquer Roma I know that their defence is a kind of weak right but witht the tactical which Jose knows how play definitely they are going to win the game..... I believe As Roma is going to take the lead of the match

After spending years and establishing team like Liverpool which is hungry for the win and their quality level at bench is also impressive things are going at their best, but suddenly you have news he is going to leave at the end of the season is surely big shock and there is no guaranteed replacement is going to be as par requirement, or they are going to have more troubles because we few clubs which were at their best, but suddenly change of coach bring big decline, and now they are badly suffering this is surely important time for the club.

Even we can expect good decision from the Liverpool management but still it's not easy to bring success and quality like klopp after him because he was really amazing, and his success ratio was also not bad even they were having too many injuries, and he settles this all at the top level now many youngsters are also coming and give their best which is good sign.

Roma played more attacking with De Rossi, scored more goals with this tactical change by a new coach but their defense system is still not strong enough. It contains weakness that can be exploited by Brighton in Europa League.

Meeting a club from another country, another league with different philosophy and tactical style is difficult. It will be a big challenging opponent for De Rossi and Roma to fight. Brighton is not a big club, has smaller tradition than Roma in Europe but they actually have good players and can beat Roma within only two matches.

I see Roma are a little bit stronger than Brighton but just a little bit stronger won't be enough to guarantee Roma will win Brighton after two matches.

It is quite understandable that we have alot matches there in Europa's league which am quite sure many of us are going to anticipate either live game or streaming it from our various rooms and homes but I am so much interested in the Europa game matche between Roma and Brighton...........

From intaial analysis which I have made so far I have a deep down thought that Roma is going to win Brighton without a much stress because they are not in their best form this season and AS Roma has been doing doing well even when I know that they are not atr the top of their local league from last match AS won their opponent 0-4 they were actually playing for away but they subdued and was able to won with minimum of 4 scores to nothing why Brighton loss their last match in premier League well so may not agree with me but believe me this os how football are been analyzed........

Well I still wish the team good luck and I am fully aware that As Roma will win that match on that very day.....

Thanks 🙏👍

Liverpool and Leverkusen at the moment they are indeed one of the clubs that is even difficult for us to ignore even though in some conditions there are some problems such as what happened to Liverpool where the players were not very fit and even still in the treatment room due to injuries but the fact is that they always play very well and that we should appreciate in this case. For Milan and Roma now they are one of the good enough challengers to enliven the Europa League in the Round of 16 later.

Looking at the opponents they will face in the round of 16 it seems that for Liverpool and Leverkusen it will not be a big problem its just different from Milan and Roma.
Milan will face Prague although surely Milan is the favourite but Prague's record in the group phase is still very good in my opinion as for Roma who are currently under the care of De Rosi they will face Brighton. Although Brighton are not as good as in previous seasons but they will be very troublesome to play against. 

Roma will face Brigthon in the first leg at home, I am quite optimistic that As Roma can get through this match with a win. The reason is that seeing the performance while coached by De Rossi was very impressive as they continued to win in the domestic league, As Roma while coached by De Rossi only suffered one defeat against Inter. I think As Roma's impressive performance in the domestic league will have an impact on the European league.

Moreover, Dybala is having an extraordinary moment, Lukaku is also getting more and more chemistry with the coach, overall the As Roma player has found his performance again. Now step by step they are starting to compete in the top four of Serie A, and of course the Europa League is their current priority. So far De Rossi has brought new life to As Roma, there is no doubt about this and it is not at all commonplace with As Roma's current performance.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are so far the two most favorite candidates in this competition, the performance of these two teams is quite impressive in their domestic league. in fact, these two teams are both at the top of the standings in their respective domestic leagues. It's just that I'm more dominant with Leverkusen than Liverpool. Since the beginning of this thread, I have supported the team under Xabi Alonso. of Leverkusen is able to be consistent in the Bundesliga, then they will not be too burdened to appear all-put in the Europa League.

On the other hand, Liverpool's position is not the same as Leverkusen. I mean, Liverpool is not in a safe situation in the Premier League. after Liverpool travel to Sparta Prague in this competition in the round of 16, Jurgen Klopp's team will host a match against Manchester City in the Premier League. This match will be a crucial match for both teams, because the result will determine the position at the top of the standings. if the result of the match between these two teams is a draw, it will benefit Arsenal. or if City wins the battle, then the position at the top of the standings will be temporarily shifted. which means, Jurgen Klopp's focus will be divided between the Premier League and the Europa League. what is certain is that the Premier League is Jurgen Klopp's main goal. so maybe Liverpool won't focus too much on this competition, but let's see how Jurgen Klopp's team plays match after match in various competitions.

As for AC Milan, before we speculate too far, let's first look at the AC Milan vs Slavia Prague battle. If Milan passes to the next phase, that means we can consider Milan as one of the teams that might be an obstacle to Liverpool and Leverkusen if they meet. Talking about AS Roma and De Rossi, I have actually reviewed them in several previous posts. so, we just need to wait when Roma host Brighton later. so, let's just enjoy it.
