Maybe yes or maybe not. the reason is, De zerbi's squad is stronger when his team meets a squad that is one level above him. in the meeting against Roma, currently the betting market is slightly favoring AS Roma. Naturally, the first leg match was held at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome's headquarters. apart from that, in the 7 matches that De Rossi played with his team, AS Roma only experienced 1 defeat, 1 draw and 5 wins. including the match against Torino, which will end soon. Roma lead 3-2, Dybala scored a hat trick in this match.nDe Rossi did one step better with his team squad. now, Roma has the potential to shift the ranking of Atlatala, who will visit Inter Milan's headquarters. if the results are minor, or even lose to Inter. On the other hand, Roma was able to overthrow Monza, De Zerbi's team is getting closer to fourth place in the top four of the Serie A standings. that is, if the scenario is like what I said.

On the other hand, in the Brighton camp, their performance is not that stable in the domestic league. likewise, when competing in the group stage, the match was not as smooth as all the wins. so, it's no different from AS Roma. Roma did lose the match against Inter, but it's natural that De Rossi has only managed a few matches with AS Roma. however, the point is that they were also able to break through the goal of Simone Inzaghi's squad. after all, Inter Milan is in performance with a very positive trend. so, it was natural that Roma lost at that time. on the other hand, I see that Roma has a chance to beat Brighton in the first leg. apart from that, it is strengthened by the odds available for both teams. however, if Roma collapses at their own headquarters, it will be very difficult for De Rossi to achieve an absolute victory when he visits England later.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself.

They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next game encounter is awaited. Roma are a good side.

Their manager De Rossi has some kind of ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against teams in the league didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.
