Roma got off to an explosive start offensively after Daniele De Rossi took over. However, the coach realized that such a strategy was unstainable, especially since their attackers aren’t in great form. He opted to be more cagey in the recent bouts.
Per Corriere della Sera, the Giallorossi bagged 28 goals and conceded 13 in the first 11 matches with the young gaffer in the dugout. Things have changed as of late. They have hit the net just twice in the past four matches, but they have also kept three clean sheets and allowed just one goal.
De Rossi has decided to put more emphasis on the defensive phases following his first couple of months at Roma. They have six crunch matches on hand the rest of the way, or more, should they advance in the Europa League.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via Goalist), the manager hasn’t gotten much from his backups. He has decided he’ll rotate as little as possible in the coming fixtures. On the other hand, he’ll have to handle Paulo Dybala and Leonardo Spinazzola with care. They seemingly risk getting injured every time they play full minutes in consecutive fixtures.
Roma have eventually denied meeting with Manuel Pellegrini, but De Rossi will have to wait for his renewal, La Repubblica informed. The brass wants him to earn it through the Champions League qualification. If he didn’t stay, but all indications suggest he will, Fiorentina would quickly scoop him up.
