Roma, Daniele De Rossi warns his team: ‘We must win the duels’

The words of Daniele De Rossi after the success with Salernitana

.

The 22nd day of Serie A ended with Roma&#39s important victory on the field of Salernitana, thanks to goals by Dybala and Pellegrini. In the post-match, at the microphones of "DAZN" the Giallorossi coach Daniele De Rossi wanted to analyze without mincing words the performance of his boys, also sending a clear message.

"The ball possession in the first half è was too slow and we never managed to be dangerous. If we keep this pace we will lose a lot of games, whereas if we turn the ball over well to dominate the game and look for the tackling, then we become a strong team. We have to learn to read the various game situations better" began the Giallorossi coach.

"I think the mistakes are upstream. On 0-2 we have to work as if we were 0-0, otherwise a good team like Salernitana chastises you. We can talk about schemes and ball possession, but what counts è winning duels with or without the ball. If the boys can’t express themselves at their best, it means that I have to be better at conveying my ideas. I have to put them in a position to understand when to attempt the play or not. When they can read with more clarity the various situations they will make the difference" added the former SPAL coach.

In conclusion, Daniele De Rossi è dwelt on the performance of Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini: "In the first half Lukaku è was the only one to give us depth. We served him little and he didn&#39t find big spaces, also aided by our slow ball possession. He suffered and worked for the team, I am satisfied with the work he is doing. I could not think of a better captain than Lorenzo because of the way he welcomed me beyond our friendship. I have been away from Roma for quite some time, but I have found good and serious men who care about the jersey. He è the worthy captain of this group".
