Di Canio on Roma: “De Rossi must mature, some defended players are too relaxed”

Paul DiCanioformer Lazio striker and not only, now a technical commentator for Sky Sport, also spoke to the microphones of the satellite broadcaster about Roma and Daniel DeRossi: “You can see that he is genuine and has difficulty detaching himself from the image of the idol of the Roma fans: in some way he is trying with communication but yesterday he became anxious arguing about the foul called for on the intervention on Pellegrini. That is a sign of immaturity that must improve, in my opinion. At times some players that the coach defended in the conference seemed too relaxed. It is precisely from them, instead, that we expect something more”.

On the same channel, Di Canio also spoke about Napoli, victorious in Cagliari, and about the performance of Romelu Lukaku: “For Conte it’s perfect, to lean on and so on. I observe, I don’t watch. I say things, I don’t speak. The performance, when you make assists and goals in an empty net, they are still assists and goals, but in technical terms it’s a 3. I point out that Conte makes him perform. Not much more, he makes him perform. In the last 3-4 years, nobody wanted him. Starting from Bayern Munich: they spent 100 million on Kane and left him, who they were giving away for free. If you want, say they’re crazy. With Conte, great, in this championship. It’s great. Even like this, even if he’s not in top form, he scores 16-17 goals. He does them, for goodness sake.

But we have to see what it moves. At Roma he moved nothing. The year before sixth, the year with him zero. We have to see this year, he will certainly move, because from tenth place it’s not far. But it’s one thing to arrive seventh, another higher. There are many factors: not having the cups is useful”.
