With a knife between our teeth.

Even if the result of the first leg would suggest an offensive attitude, the game plan must be more complex, given the result of the first leg, the attitude of domination and the strength of the opponent. They will come to rule our house and we will let them do it. Mainly it is important not to concede a goal, which would close any ambitions, so we will have to defend and counterattack, and then we will have to be quite cynical when and if we have opportunities. If we finish the first half 2-0 for us, we can believe it. If we are 3-0 in the 70th, they will probably have a more defensive attitude and we will have to attack to score the fourth goal.

Mind you: I realize that what I am asking is very difficult to rationalize, but football is often irrational (especially with Roma) and we come to this match with the bookmakers who do not take bets on the passage of the round. Nobody believes in us, all the more so we have to find the strength to overturn the result.

Despite the very negative first leg's score, i think that the prematch is a good base also for the second leg.

Why do both Manchester teams (even City) have a ship on the symbol despite the fact that Manchester is not a coastal city? The origins are linked to the growth and industriousness of the English people and the link with Liverpool, another great center of world football. In fact, the Mersey starts from Liverpool along the beautiful Everton stadium (which they will soon rebuild unlike the 2,000 aborted projects in Italy: a matter that also concerns us) and reaches the historic river port of Manchester. It is therefore a glorious and historic ship, thanks also to the successes of the Red Devils, who have won 1 Champions Cup and 2 Champions League, but which we can bomb and sink.

Everyone gives us defeats before playing, but Manchester United is the same team that has conceded 6 goals from Tottenham. Nobody would spend a penny on our qualification and I'm probably crazy to write an article like this, but football is often madness and utopia realized and Roma in its history has shown that it knows how to realize utopia. For these reasons, let's believe it. Daje Roma!
