Champions LEAGUE PREVIEW – AS Roma Vs Bayern Munich: Three Capital “Il Lupi”

ROME – AS Roma pocketed three advantage in the duel against Bayern Munich on Matchday 5. First, the match was held at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome headquarters. Second, Bayern will not appear adamant predictable because it has pocketed a ticket to the round of 16-large. Third, Bayern’s midfield general, Bastian Schweinsteiger could not play because of accumulated yellow cards.

Schweinsteiger had a significant role in Bayern in the Champions League game. Of the four games that played, Schweinsteiger has contributed two goals and two assists. Contributions are Somewhat already proved how vital the role of the Germany national team players.

Armed with these three benefits, and combined with the momentum of rise of Roma in Serie A, coach Claudio Ranieri deserves to win expect much action. Because, in the middle of this week, Ranieri had boasted his team would be a great achievement in the Champions League.

“Bringing the Champions League trophy to Rome? I’ve thought about it even though people call me crazy because of it, “Ranieri said as quoted by Sky Sport Italia.

Of course, in order to realize these ambitions, the first step that must be done is to qualify for the last 16-major phase. Tickets for that can be obtained from the party against Bayern. If the party can win and between FC Basel vs CFR Cluj ended in a draw, Roma certainly qualify for the next round.

Ranieri has also received a valuable lesson against Bayern. In the first leg 0-2 defeat gave him one consciousness, that is not allowed to feel trepidation before the game. “Previously, we lost because of fear before the fight,” I Ranieri.

Hence, in this second Rome meeting will be different. No longer playing to survive, hoping to counter-attack quickly, Roma will try to take the initiative to attack first.

If the Romans looked so explosive in welcoming the duel on Matchday 5, Bayern tend to look more relaxed. Understandably, in addition to tickets to the next round already in hand, with only a draw was the first ranking position group would certainly not be separated.

However, Philip Lahm et al certainly not going to fix the series. They want to score a perfect result or win any match in the group phase. Never forget, the value of a victory in the Champions League group phase worth 800 thousand euros. Tempting, is not it?
