On September 27, in the first round of the Europa League, Roma drew 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao at home. Roma’s head coach, Yurich, expressed some disappointment over the draw, stating that the team wasted too many opportunities on the field.
Yurich talked about the game, saying, “It was a wonderful match. Athletic Bilbao often played long passes to break through our pressing defense. Apart from the goal scored by Paredes, they didn’t create many chances on the field.”
Yurich stated that Roma wasted too many opportunities on the field: “This game is regrettable. Although we created many opportunities, we failed to capitalize on them, including the chance created by Süle in the second half. It was because we missed too many opportunities that we were punished. We should have been calmer on the field, but this game also showed me many positive aspects.”
Regarding why Díaz was substituted early in the second half, Yurich said, “We originally planned to let Díaz play for 60-70 minutes, but he felt pain on the field. We don’t want to risk the player, so we replaced him. We will see how Díaz is doing tomorrow. There is no point in discussing his condition now.”
