The schedule for the rematch against Udinese is not favorable for AS Roma

Rome, Beritasatu.com – The AS Roma club criticized the decision of Serie A (Italian League) to reschedule their remaining 18 minutes of the match against Udinese on April 25 2024. Roma feel that this schedule is unfair and unfavorable, considering that they will be preparing to face Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinals of the Europa League.

It is known that the Udinese vs Roma match which took place on Sunday 14 April 2024 was suspended after the club's defender nicknamed the Black Wolf Evan Ndicka collapsed on the pitch in the second half. Serie A then scheduled the match to be held on Thursday 18 April 2024.

However, Roma objected because they were scheduled to play against Bologna (22 April 2024) and Napoli (28 April 2024). Then on May 2, Roma will host Bundesliga (German League) champion Bayer Leverkusen at legs first Europa League semi-final.

“AS Roma with its results and four consecutive European semi-finals contributed to Italy's ranking in UEFA and thus the five slots for Italian teams in the next edition of the Champions League,” the club announced on Friday.

“Despite this, Serie A President Lorenzo Casini today took an unfair decision to AS Roma which forces us to face Bayer 04 Leverkusen in a disadvantageous position,” he added.

“This is clearly a step backwards for Italian football as a whole,” said Roma management.
