Daniele De Rossi analyzes Roma’s transfer business, discusses new signings | OneFootball

Roma boss Daniele De Rossi shared his thoughts on the match with Olympiakos which ended with a 1-1 draw in Rieti.

The friendly match saw several new faces make their debut for Roma including Matias Soule, Samuel Dahl and Artem Dovbyk.

After the match, De Rossi spoke to Roma TV about numerous topics.

“Today we needed to give an answer on the pitch, both in terms of condition and attitude. We needed to play inside an important stadium, since in Cagliari there will be a passionate crowd against and it could be a problem. It’s important to bring the adrenaline of real matches.”

“I felt enormous warmth around the players and that was what we needed from the fans. There is the new player who does well straight away, and then there are those who need support. We need fans who support all Roma players no matter what.”

“The signings? Everyone does their part to influence the negotiations positively. Without Dan Friedkin the deal for Dovbyk would have been difficult. We are all happy and grateful for this signing. Dovbyk is a huge prospect who needs to find his footing in his new team, but he will definitely make it. All the new signings strongly wanted to come to Roma, even giving up important teams in the process.”

“Going to England? We felt that now would be the right time to continue our preseason outside of Italy. Before we only had Primavera players and 5 starters. You need to train your brain before the technique. We were lucky to have a youth sector that kept the level of training high. Now we are a team with a capital “T” and now we can train in the fresh air.”
