Daniele De Rossi says both head coaches will lose sleep over Roma’s clash with Albion.
Roma beat Torino 3-2 last night, led by a Paulo Dybala hat-trick, in their last home game before facing the Seagulls in the Europa League last 16.
De Rossi was asked about the forthcoming tie and said: “I fear them because they are a strong team, who have talented players and a balanced squad.
“They are led by one of the best coaches in Europe.
“But we too are just as strong.
“Brighton will take some nights away from my sleep for the preparation of the match.
“However, I think that De Zerbi is also not very happy with this draw."
