Coach: Daniele De Rossi
N'Dicka continues to improve his health condition
Without a doubt, all eyes have been on the situation of Evan N'Dicka, who collapsed in the previous match against Udinese. The player has evolved satisfactorily. The team explained that he suffered a thoracic trauma following examinations at the Santa Maria della Misericordia hospital in Udine.
Some controversies have arisen regarding the match, due to the fact that the organization of the competition proposed to restart the match to play the missing minutes and also the questioning of the Lazio president on whether the match should continue to be played. This is how coach Daniele De Rossi responded to these two situations:
"I join the club's words to contest the League's decision to resume the match against Udinese on April 25. It prevents us from having enough time to prepare for the Europa League semi-final. Our requests were legitimate and yet they were dismissed."
"Lotito's words? Unfortunately I was prepared for that. I have a good relationship with him, but Lotito was wrong for that. No one should hold what happened in the match with Udinese against us. There are people who see a conspiracy everywhere and usually you think it's 15-year-olds on social media, but it turns out that it also affects people who work in the world of soccer. Those of us who work in soccer must be sensitive in order to grow and move forward."

Statements - Thiago Motta (Bologna Coach)
"There is no obsession. We are very realistic about our current situation. There is no pressure here, that's on others, those whose ambitions were the highest goals."
"The pressure is on other teams like Roma. Pressure on those who aspire to great goals: because we were not expected to be in this position.... We just have to feel the responsibility to do our job well, as always."
"About Rossi? I have great admiration for him. He's a fantastic guy, intelligent, and we share good memories from when we were together in the Azzurri. He deserves everything he has now.
"Lewis Ferguson is unique. All the guys have their own characteristics, but everybody loves him, he does well off the field too, his teammates wanted to visit him in the hospital, Sam Beukema brought him ice, there's real love and brotherhood there.
"I hope to see him soon, as he has a strong mentality, although he is clearly sad now. We are not looking for another Lewis. I'm sure whoever comes in will do well with his own characteristics."
Statements - Daniele De Rossi (Roma Coach)
"Lukaku had a small muscle problem, nothing to worry about. Abraham or Azmoun will start and then they can play together as the match progresses,"
"Bologna are creating a masterpiece, I congratulate Thiago Motta and the club for the incredible team they have built. They are fascinating to watch and difficult to study and deal with beforehand,"
"I would like to see Dybala as a false nine, sometimes I have thought about it. To play with a false nine like Paulo you need great players on the wings, explosive players. Even in midfield we need players who fit in. I would love to, but we also need a deep attack and that's not one of our great characteristics."
"I haven't seen enough of Abraham, but he has incredible strength and energy that I have to channel to get him to give his best. He has already understood what I want from a center forward, he can become devastating like Lukaku."
"Pellegrini surprises me tactically, my staff and I didn't think he was so intelligent, and athletically he is also an incredible player."
Bologna also at the Stadio Olimpico
The visiting team is also already present. It has been one of the best seasons that have had the felsineos in recent years. The dream of reaching the Champions League is very close.
