Roma coach De Rossi adamant Euro hopes alive at Bayer Leverkusen

AS Roma coach Daniele de Rossi insists no-one is giving up on their Europa League semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen.

Roma are in Germany for the second-leg trailing 2-0.

De Rossi said: Nobody will be rested for our trip to Bergamo.

The assessments I make will be done with the players and the club doctor, but they will not be made in view of the Bergamo trip. We have to carefully evaluate how everyone is doing, how the clothes are.

This match is important for us and we can't underestimate the task. I want to have a good talk with (Dybala), with the doctor, because I want to understand the full situation.

We have to apply ourselves in the hunt for goals. When we didn't do it last time, it was because (Leverkusen) were too good. We pressed well, we created some chances. Even when the mood and the atmosphere dropped, we tried until the end.

We know the result is difficult, it is difficult because they haven't lost all season but we have to believe in it and try until the end, like we did in the first leg.

We know it will be hard to come home with the result, but doing so is why we're here in the first place."

Bayer Leverkusen have already relayed to fans details for the final, but De Rossi said: These are mistakes not made by the coaching staff or by the players. That is somebody else's responsibility, the ticket office or whoever manages those things over there. I think that the Leverkusen team and staff are concentrated on our match and there is feeling that they will roll over.

We've all seen it, we've commented on it, but it doesn't bother us, we don't need any more motivation."
