“Daniele De Rossi our pride, Yankee go home”. This is – reports The Press – the writing that can be read on many posters put up tonight in Rome. The anonymous initiative made by some fans in support of the former Giallorossi coach takes place on the day of Juric’s team’s debut in the Europa League, this evening with Atletico Bilbao at the Olimpico. The posters – always reports The Press – they appeared on Lungotevere from Testaccio to the Stadium, the ring road above Corso Francia and towards the stadium, Circonvallazione Clodia, the Stadium on the Maresciallo Giardino side and the Aula bunker.
The Roma coach Ivan Juric yesterday he spoke to Sky Sports ahead of the Giallorossi’s European debut against Athletic Bilbao: “At the moment it’s like this, the victory the other day has already changed the players’ faces who feel better and with more enthusiasm. We respond on the pitch, we must continue to put in great performances starting with tomorrow’s match (today, ed.). What kind of atmosphere did you find at Trigoria? The one I’ve already explained. There was sadness and disappointment because they weren’t able to get results, it’s normal that they were disappointed because they had a great relationship, that was the feeling. This is our life, I also experienced what happened to Daniele at Genoa. We must forget about everything and think only about the pitch, train well and get great results”.
