Suspended love. Suddenly. Thanks, sorry, each to their own way. Let’s end it here, it doesn’t matter which of the two wasted more time. Love always has an end, and eight months are not a few months, if lived with passion and availability. It ends with the usual ritual explanations, sorrow, affection, good luck, nothing original. Did he deserve more? Maybe, but is there anything right when a story ends? De Rossi was in his place in the world, he knew that sooner or later it would end, but not like this, not now. There were problems, tensions, they already wanted to take a break, but let’s try again, you never know. And instead.
Juric new coach of Roma to replace the sacked De Rossi: “Decision in the interest of the team”
by Marco Juric
He is the only one after Mourinho
He had arrived in January, he had to save his country and the team, it was him or no one. After Mourinho, a cumbersome and charismatic figure, a cup won (the Conference League), a near miss (the Europa League final lost against Sevilla), a unique bond made of sold out and unconditional trust, there was only one name. De Rossi was born a fan, grew up a footballer, coach when he grew up. Made in the image and likeness of Rome. No one more than him. He took over the team, calmed the exasperated minds of the players who went onto the pitch always ready for a fight, with very high tension.
He had brought the first results, he had resumed his journey in the Europa League by making it through the play-offs and reaching the semi-finals, he had relaunched the team in the league which, before the collapse at the end of the season, had hoped to qualify for the Champions League. He had sorted out the team tactically, relaunched Paredes as a director, freed Dybala, rediscovered El Shaarawy.
De Rossi knew he suddenly had his opportunity. He had just left and was already where he wanted to be. And he didn’t feel too young or too inexperienced or too immature to realize his dream. Being born, growing up, dreaming, arriving. Overcoming distrust. Erasing Captain Future, he just wanted to live in the present.
The tension with the managers, Totti’s interview, the Dybala case
But the present was not as he had dreamed. The continuous tensions (denied, but in football the occasional phrases about harmony last until the dismissal announcements) with the managers. Different ideas on the market, on the players to sign, and on the formation, 3-man defense or 4-man defence, as if it were the end of the world. The club’s confusing behavior regarding Dybala and De Rossi ended up in the middle: first they had to think of a team without the Argentine, then they had to pretend that they could do without him, calm the fans, only to then find him as a problem. Totti’s interview with Sky Sport didn’t help: when the former captain said that Roma “made a mess and that De Rossi is alone” in Trigoria someone thought: here’s the hitman. On whose behalf is he speaking? Of course the results haven’t helped him: four days at the start of the season, zero victories. They say from the club: we want to play in the Champions League, we still have time to recover, this is one of the worst starts ever in Roma’s history. There’s always an excuse ready when you have to break up. We could try to move forward, the end doesn’t always have to come, there was room not to say goodbye. But De Rossi understood how it works: if you give a lot, you receive little. And in that little there is above all ingratitude
