The words of Daniele De Rossi

Daniele De Rossi spoke on the eve of De Zerbi’s Europa League clash with Brighton: "I think Roberto is giving something recognizable in the world, a brand that he carries with him. From us fourth è Bologna and Roberto has brought something similar to Sassuolo. I think it’s something similar, but repeatable are if you have a coach with great ideas or a club that can buy young players. Three-way or four-way? I won’t tell you". 

"I have a very good relationship with De Zerbi since I was a footballer after games and he was taking his first steps as a coach. After the match we would talk and I would express my admiration for him for the game he proposed in Benevento, in Palermo and we would talk about his present and what would be my future – explained De Rossi -. He has brilliant ideas and è a different coach. They also have very good players and have acquired many good ones I expect a complicated and difficult patita". 

"I think Roma è a great team that has to respect Brighton and how they play, but we are Roma. The first thing we have to know that Brighton puts Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal to play in their own half of the field. Sometimes it takes embarkations. There will be various games within the match. We should be good at playing them and winning both of them. We should be good when we have the ball, and I hope as much as possible, both when, facing a team that does it very well and does it against very strong players".
