Europa League: Roma and AZ Alkmaar tease each other, Dybala stands out

Roma have never won away all season and hope to put an end to that run in the Netherlands this evening.

«We have to play well and win. Let’s hope the boys do everything we studied in training. AZ Alkmaar are compact, they move all backwards and we have to be good at moving the ball quickly, because they tend to swarm on you with three or four players and do the counterattack”, said coach Ranieri in the conference press.

Roma are 14th with 9 points, Alkmaar are only one point behind. The top 8 automatically enter the direct elimination phase, while those between ninth and 25th will have to compete in the play-offs. Eighth place is currently occupied by Rangers with 11 points, Lazio tops the table with 16.
