Milan, 11 March (LaPresse) – "Roma are confirming their great value, a team of great quality that has also added a striker. Tomorrow will be a tough test in a valuable competition. We are facing a very dangerous Roma side based on what they are showing.‘ These were the words of Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano speaking to Sky Sport on the eve of the Europa League round of 16 match against Roma. ’I was disappointed with this draw because both teams could have gone through. We will need to play an almost perfect game to cause Roma problems. They have strength, quality and dynamism in midfield, and we must be ready to counterattack,‘ added the Rossoblù coach. Italiano will face Gasperini tomorrow, a coach he greatly admires. ’Gasperini is an example for many coaches. We admired Atalanta, and we are seeing what he is doing at Roma. There is great respect for the man and the coach," he said.
