Daniele De Rossicoach of Romespoke to the microphones of Sky Sports to talk about his first 4 months in the Giallorossi: “I hope it is the appetizer of something great that will arrive in the coming years. It is difficult to take stock of the season. Let’s say that in these 4 months we have done good things but also less good ones. Only two teams were superior to us, so I think I can be satisfied. But as a player, I wasn’t used to celebrating sixth places. There were teams that played better than us, like Bologna.”
Where can Roma improve?
“I couldn’t give you names. I’m in Trigoria for 12 hours. A director who knows the players will arrive shortly. A strong coach must realize that a younger player must be a better buy at that time. When I spoke to the company we had a similar vision. I would like it not to be thought that we are not good at one on one. However, we need quick people, I don’t want to give an identikit. We have few players like Gervinho for example. But every now and then it helps, like Leverkusen did with us.”
Do you prefer players with these characteristics or more flexible players?
“A choice to be made now yes and no. Maybe you get a player who isn’t very flexible but who does things so well for you. For me there are players who can offer you many roles. We tried Zalewski as a midfielder all week, but if you know that you have to finish sixth, some choices force you.”
What did he give to this team?
“This team wasn’t coached by the newest addition. A team that amazed me with how it approached European matches. Certainly thanks to Mourinho. We achieved some important results in the final. Even today there were 10 of us left, but we always remained attacking and this makes me proud.”
