Daniele De Rossi sees his bench teetering: ‘My responsibility. Fans? Meet me.”

Critical moment for Daniele De Rossi after his side’s third consecutive defeat in Serie B plunged Spal into the relegation zone. In the press conference after the game against Venezia, the Roman coach took responsibility and admitted his team’s inadequate performance, although he cannot explain it, reports lospallino: “The first half is inexplicable, for lost duels and lack of intensity.”

“I always thought even as a footballer that when a team plays like today the coach is always to blame, there is no escape. If there’s a lack of blood it means I’m doing something wrong. You get out of it by continuing to work, trying to strike different chords. When you lose a game without going on the field with an attitude, grant me the term, murderous, there is work to be done.”

The ultras of the West Curve have called a rally at the Paolo Mazza to challenge the team and the club: “If you love the team and you see a first half like that, it’s clear that you can only get angry, and it’s right that they want explanations. But there is little to meet the team, which apart from those first 45 minutes has always shown respect to the fans. If they want to meet someone they will have to meet me.”
