Daniele De Rossi new owner of Ostia Mare Lido Calcio

Daniele De Rossi, a former flag player and former Roma coach, è is the new owner of Ostia Mare Lido Calcio and today outlined the plans for the future of his new club: "My love for Roma will never end, but I do not have to bring former Roma players, there are very strong young people in Lazio. I do not want to be forever tied with the umbilical cord to Roma”.

“It will beà a long-term, serious project. So many companiesà have won the championship and then exploded, we want to do something that will last. I want to be here 30 years, I hope to see fruits over the years. My former teammates have written to me, having a shoulder will be pleasant. Totti? Him too, he is here around the corner".

When asked what his dream is, De Rossi admits: "I would like to win some championships, imagine a game at 2:30 p.m. with 300 people following us even on the road. Miracles we cannot do, but I want to bring people to see Ostia Mare'Ostia Mare". Do you dream of becoming the third soccer hub in Rome? "In recent years many clubs have tried – he replies – We aim to maintain the category immediately, then the ambition there'è. I don&#39t think it will be impossible to do something great".

Finally, a thought on the reasons that led him to make this choice: "My father the first thing he told me è was 'you are crazy' but it wasn&#39t a sacrifice for me. I like soccer and Ostia Mare has never stopped following and loving it. I think the team is a way for us to reconnect as citizens. We will bring kids back to touch the ball with their feet without thinking about tactics and schemes. And there will beà a code of ethics for the kids and one for the parents, we will bring back things that this generation" lacks and has lacked.
