Dybala’s choice to stay at Roma and not accepting the court of Al-Qadsiah was the focus of Daniel’s conference From Rossi on the eve of the match against Empoli. “It was an emotional situation, full of ups and downs – said the Giallorossi coach -. Paulo refused very important sums, the fans see in him someone who made a decision also based on what is the love towards him and the team. It is a beautiful story, not so common in the world of football. It is a decision that is the result and merit of the love of the fans”.
“Since the start of the retreat, Dybala has never missed a training session but both I and the club were aware that he was training well – De Rossi continued -. We will manage him based on the opponent or the match we think we will find the next day. It will be more newsworthy to you journalists when he is on the bench but these are choices that I will make”.
With Dybala’s permanence and Soulé’s arrival, De Rossi will have to find a tactical position for the two players so that they can coexist. The Giallorossi coach, however, is sure: “They have great talent and strong players can play together. The others are also talented. From time to time I will choose who to send onto the pitch. We have two wingers in addition to them and they are Zalewski and El Shaarawy. There is also Joao Costa who has a secure future and we will decide what to do with him. Baldanzi? I really like him as a mezzala”.
In a hypothetical 4-3-3, De Rossi said, “Soulé convinces me on the left even if I like players with an inverted foot. In those 20 minutes in Cagliari, our most dangerous action comes from Soulé’s left foot that launches Paulo. Maybe he won’t be able to shoot on goal but he also has other qualities to play there. With Paredes’ return we need to understand if he will play and then I will choose the mezzala based on his characteristics. We have many players who can play that role like Baldanzi, Bove or Pisilli”.
The last week of the market is now upon us and the Roma could still make some moves. According to the former midfielder, however, “to buy other players you need both numerical and economic space. Juventus had to sell Soulé to make room. From next week there will be no more time and we will be aware of who we are. The weeks with the market open are a mess. It should be closed earlier and nothing would happen. It’s not just a problem for me but it annoys everyone.”
