Present in the ‘Sky’ studios, the former footballer Zvonimir Boban he reserved a harsh attack on the Friedkin family for how they handled the De Rossi situation and beyond: “It is a disrespectful management of Roma’s history. Totti was not given time to grow. De Rossi was burned as if he were zero. But who are you? This Americanization does not respect the values of Italian football. Roma is a great club.”
Having replaced De Rossi after four rounds of the championship, Juric is now also in the balance after Fiorentina-Roma 5-1. This is how the Croatian coach analyzed the match last night: “We know how football is, we threw everything down the toilet today. The young people did well, the old ones were returning to the level they were before. We work, others decide: I remain of the opinion that in these 40 days we have done good things, while I didn’t expect it tonight. If you score 5 goals in 7 games and concede few shots, it means you’re doing great. Tonight we didn’t score ridiculous goals: games like this happen, let’s hope it all happened today and we need to start again as we were before and improving.”
And again: “The team has been carrying great frustration for some time and has collapsed emotionally: this is the final feeling of things. Incredible that these guys would have deserved it against Inter a few days ago and today they collapse like this. We really gave away certain goals. It could have been a frustration accumulated then translated into an emotional collapse”.
