What do you think of Italian football?
“Every year everyone has to fight hard to stay at the top, certainly Serie A is one of the great world leagues, like Germany, England and Spain. I think it is very close to the Premier League with the level shown in recent years.”
What do you think of Daniele De Rossi as a coach?
“I think he changed the mentality of the team, he knew what to expect from the Roma players and he showed it. I think he proved that he is an excellent coach.”
Zirkzee out of Holland’s squad for the European Championship after being the Serie A star:
“Well, we don’t expect much from Holland but I think that if everyone is well, we can beat anyone but also lose to everyone.

He had an excellent year, he knows how to play well and can also score, he has proven to be an important player.”
