(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 04 – “We want to show the same character that we used to get to this point. We have to use the same mentality seen against Rennes and PSV Eindhoven (in Holland, in the quarterfinals he won away from home Ed). Roma will have their own audience to push them, plus they are very good at playing on the counterattack and that’s what we must always be focused on. ” Thus, on the eve of the second leg of the Conference League, Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers.

But is it an advantage for Roma to play the return match at the Olimpico? “In reality it could also be a disadvantage – replies the Foxes manager – because before taking the field they will have to deal with the pressure of the whole environment. At the same time clearly all this can be used to their advantage. ‘time to play at the Olimpico, and to have that composure and maturity necessary to get the job done “. And what will Leicester have to do? “All my parents have to do is go out and have fun. The matches against PSV and Rennes were new to us – explains Rodgers -, this is another step towards the maturation of a young team. We have shown that we can do it.

We will go on the pitch without fear and to win the game, that’s what our mentality will be. I want the players to learn from this experience, it’s nice to hear them talk about this game, you feel the hunger they have. We deserved this result over time, now we want to take the next step and go to the final. “Are they unavailable? No one, Vardy has trained too and he can be part of the match.”

But is it true that he gave Mourinho a gift? “Yes, a cup of tea. I did it to thank him for everything he did for me when I was a young coach.” (HANDLE).
