Initially I started to be optimistic about AS Roma in the Europa League. But I started having doubts after
seeing that Roma could only get a draw in yesterday's match in Serie A against Lecce. I think there is a change that occurred where in the match against Lecce it seemed that Roma had difficulty building attacks. I hope it's just a test of De Rossi's strategy. And I hope that in the match against Milan in the Europa League quarter-finals we can see Roma with the improved quality of their attacks like when De Rossi first arrived at the club.
Lecce who are outside the top 10 were able to surprise us by holding Roma to a 0-0 draw, but I think that does not make Roma weak because it is normal for a club with a new coach to experience ups and downs in performance like Roma at the moment, I think Roma will soon bounce back from the defeat and of course will provide competition that is again tight in the league and Europa League, Roma still have 2 weeks left to prepare before the Europa League match starts and surely they will try to return their form back to winning ways and of course Lazio will be able to be an outlet and the beginning of their revival later in the league before facing Milan.
I would never think that Milan would underestimate Roma just because they got a draw from Lecce, although maybe Roma will rise before the Europa League game starts but still I will not change my bet for Milan victory later, I think maybe de Rossi is just trying to experiment against Lecce so that indeed he can get a better strategy to face Milan later but unfortunately it is precisely that experiment seems to have failed.
