Roma and Brighton clash at the Olimpico Stadium in Rome in the first meeting of the Europa League round of 16. The home unit has been magnificent since Daniele De Rossi took over the wheel, while on the other side, Brighton has struggled to deliver decent performances lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Rossi’s takeover marked the start of a new era for Roma. That period started rather well for Il Lupi, who has eight wins in the last 10 games. The new philosophy applied well to Roma’s players, who are more creative and much more effective than under Mourinho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The games are much more interesting, including more goals. Yes, Roma concedes frequently, yet on the other end, they score more. For sure, this is a step forward compared to the previous period, and that’s all because of De Rossi. We just want to say four of the previous five meetings at the Olimpico ended with three or more goals on both ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
