Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal second leg kicked off what will be a hellish stretch of matches for Roma, one that was made just a bit more difficult with the suspended Udinese match set for Thursday. Just four days after eliminating Milan to advance to their fourth straight European semifinal, Roma will host Bologna in their biggest domestic match to date. With the Giallorossi just four points behind the Rossoblu (with the Udinese match in hand), three points could be critical in the race...
“It’s an interesting question and one which I think reveals the essence of this job. You’re always looking for something that might work but at the same time you’re always afraid of trying to do too much.

Mathematically speaking, scoring 3.5 out of 5 is the same as receiving three and a half stars on a five-star scale. But visually speaking, the numbers don't add up.

There’s no doubt that Milan will be looking to win tonight, and Daniele De Rossi will have to apply the same tactical know-how he used last week in an attempt to confound Pioli and his men.
