The Roma coach after the 3-0 in Frosinone: “Huijsen’s gesture to the opposing fans? A stupid thing, he’ll learn.” And on Svilar: “Now he is the new starting goalkeeper”
Four wins out of five in the championship. Three goals scored away without conceding any. Daniele De Rossi can only be satisfied with his performance who, despite a difficult start, beat Frosinone 3-0. “Winning a match that started like this weighs a lot. The first half was bad, which is why I didn’t celebrate Huijsen’s goal: I was nervous and he had also been booked, keeping a 2005 player on the pitch with the whole stadium booing him was risky. What I can say is that we have never suffered like this since I arrived, they were very good.” So the mea culpa: “I also made a bit of a mess, I changed the characteristics of who plays behind the striker, I put Azmoun in and I needed to try more, I only did it for one day. I made a mistake. The second half But I really liked it, this Roma can play like this for 90 minutes in every match.”

Returning to Huijen, Di Francesco spoke of his celebration as a lack of respect. De Rossi downplays it: “It’s a shame, but it’s nothing serious, it’s stupid, he’ll learn. I’ve done a lot of stupid things, I can’t say too much but he now knows that that gesture cost him 45 minutes in Serie A, forcing us to the change. Through these things you improve and grow. Next time he won’t do it.”

Svilar new starting goalkeeper? “Roma has two exceptional goalkeepers, but it is the only role in which I want there to be clarity on who is first or second. Initially the first was Rui, now it is right to give space to Mile, he is young and is a value for the club. We trust him and we will have him even if he performs worse than this tomorrow. Let’s hope not.”

At the end of the first half De Rossi removed Lukaku: “It was a tactical change, I didn’t like how he was playing with Azmoun, then he played a lot of games and we needed to have him fresh. I liked Azmoun better and I kept him on the pitch him, it’s not serious and it’s not a failure, also because it was tough for Romelu given our bad first half. I probably should have made eleven substitutions, but if everyone does badly it means that the coach is to blame. Azmoun is a striker loaned to the attacking midfield and vice versa, I thought about letting Aouar play, but Azmoun was fit in training and I focused on him.”

Feyenoord will be back at the Olimpico on Thursday. For the Giallorossi coach it is the first European at home: “I’m happy to be here and experience all these little firsts, today I was thrilled by the full guest sector. I’m rediscovering a world, I feel alive and as long as I’m here I’ll give 100 %”.
