Daniele De Rossi, the AS Roma midfielder has jumped into the defense of Luis Enrique, their under-fire coach after the protest come out from the faithful of Giallorossi. Last summer, Luis Enrique took the job at Stadio Olimpico after a productive period as Barcelona B coach, and foretold to bring eye catching football to the club.
In spite of bringing several reinforcements in the transfer season, the Italian club have struggled to get consistency throughout the season and are sitting at the 7th spot in the Serie A standings, twenty-four points behind Juventus who are at number one spot.
After their 2 – 1 defeat to Fiorentina on Wednesday saw several rooters jeer the coach, with few showing banners and asking the managerial ability of the Spanierd, but Daniele De Rossi has quickly moved to defend his coach.
While speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he told that he still thinks that he is one of the mosr talented coaches around. He has the same capability as Lippi, Spalletti and Capello, but unfortunately he has very unlucky and he also added that he will stand behind him and defend him.
Throughout his football career at the AS Roma, Daniele De Rossi has been known as the soul and heart of the club, but he insists that rest of the team must get some confidence even if he does not play any game. He does not think that he is essential. They are a team and the only thing that matters is to win. On Saturday, they will play against Napoli and look to hold their hope to make it to the Champions League.
AS Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi has left the club management extremely angry at him, according to a club official after he was dropped from the side that was defeated by Atalanta in an Italian League match. According to club official Franco Baldini, de Rossi was fuming at being left out of the side and he had to have a meeting with him before the player calmed down. De Rossi is one of the most controversial figures in the Italian football circle apart from being one of the best players produced by the country in recent years but according to Baldini, it is this attitude of the player that has left his fans asking for more from the player, who is seen as a talent unfulfilled.
Just a few months back, Daniele de Rossi was linked with a move away from the famous Olympic Stadium when he failed to agree to contractual terms with the Manchester clubs United and City as well as European giants Real Madrid all vying for his signature but according to the latest reports, de Rossi has snubbed the advances of all his suitors and penned a new deal at the club.
However, according to a source, manager Luis Enrique is extremely displeased with the attitude of the player and he has made it certain to the board that he will not have players in the side who don’t want to sacrifice for the team. This has prompted a scramble among several clubs to sign the player that they had long been trying to do and it is highly likely that come the end of the season, manager Luis Enrique will sell the prized asset Daniele de Rossi to the highest bidder.
This gives Manchester City the chance to sign a player that Roberto Mancini had long been trying to lure to the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have been showing a lot of interest in Roma midfielder Daniel de Rossi, who is coming to the end of his contract with the Italian club.
It is a well-known fact that Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is a very keen admirer of the Italian. Roberto Mancini regards Daniel de Rossi to be one of the finest midfielders of the current generation. Daniel de Rossi has remained as one club man with Roma, but it seems that he is being pushed out of Roma by the new owners and the changes with the club. Roberto Mancini has hinted that if such a situation arrives where Daniel de Rossi is looking for a new club, Manchester City will be at the top of this pile.
It has now been revealed that Manchester City will not show interest in the Italian after all, as the signing of the star Italian midfielder will depend a lot upon the amount of money the club can generate in the January transfer window through the sales of current players. It is a very well-known fact that Roberto Mancini has a huge squad at its disposal. It is so huge that many of the players are not present in the reserve team itself and are currently playing for other clubs under a loan deal.
“We could maybe bring someone in, but we need to sell three or four players. With Carlos we could close [a deal] in the next three or four days, and also possibly Wayne. Then maybe we can do something. With Carlos there are two or three teams in Italy, a team in France, and another team involved – I hope for him he can start to play football,” Roberto Mancini said when asked about the possibility of signing Daniel de Rossi in this transfer window.
It seems that the uncertainty over the future of Roma captain and midfield talisman Daniele de Rossi refuses to go away in spite of repeated statements from both the player’s agent and the club that both parties are interested in concentrating on a long term future for de Rossi at the Olympic Stadium.
The stalwart and engine of the midfield of the Italian national team had been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window as Sir Alex Ferguson was looking for a midfielder who would replace the retired Paul Scholes at the center of the midfield but nothing came of it the move at that time. It was then revealed that Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid were also interested in the Roma captain who has just one year left on his contract. What added further momentum to the story was reports that stated that the midfielder had refused to sign a contract extension at the club and the club wanted to sell him for whatever amount they could before having to lose the player for free at the end of the season.
However, his agent came out saying that Danielle de Rossi would only consider his future uncertain if Roma let him go, thus quelling all speculation for the time.
However, with the winter transfer window opening soon, reports in England have suggested that Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is interested in bringing the midfielder to the Etihad Stadium and is ready to offer as much as $ 25 million for the player, enabling Roma to make a huge profit off a player who came up through their youth set up. However, according to contradictory reports, Danielle de Rossi has already signed an extension at Roma, but with cash rich City on his tail, there is no telling what might happen in the future.
