“I was praying it wasn’t just Brighton” …. De Rossi rants, “De Jervy is a genius”
Roma boss De Rossi has spoken out as Roma and Brighton face off in the Europa League round of 16.
“AS Roma will face Brighton in the round of 16 of the Europa League,” Italian media outlet Football Italia reported on Friday (KST). The match will also be an Italian derby between De Rossi and De Gea, who are close friends.”
Roma coach De Rossi said after the draw for the round of 16: “I didn’t want to face Brighton. It will be a difficult game to prepare for. They have hurt many of the top teams in England,” De Rossi said after the draw.
He continued: “I have a lot of respect for De Jervy. He was like an open book for me. He helped me, gave me his books and data, and gave me advice. Our daughters are friends with each other. We will meet at the Roma Club in London to watch the match.”
De Rossi concluded, “I don’t think his daughter will be bringing a Roman scarf when we meet. This has brought us closer together. I think he’s a genius, he introduced something new and the person who did it is a genius director. You can’t copy a genius, but he changed something, so many people want to emulate him.”
De Jervi has been influenced by Guardiola, who emphasizes building up from the back with short passes. When the opponent presses, he takes advantage of the space up front to move the ball around and then release the ball forward from the back with one long pass or a through ball to create a numerical advantage in attack.
In particular, De Gea’s tactics require a center back who is very good on his feet, a full back who is very aggressive, and quick feet in the attacking third. The opponent must be prepared for constant penetration in the back and must be able to cover both Mitoma and Solly March’s flanks.
He took charge of Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A in 2018 to great acclaim. He utilized Berardi and Locatelli to lead the team and played some very attractive football as he guided Sassuolo to a top-10 finish.
He succeeded Porter as Brighton manager and despite being a mid-season 토토사이트 appointment, he led the Seagulls to a record 17 wins, 2 draws, 10 losses, and 58 points, the most points since Brighton’s promotion to the Premier League, and led them to the Europa League.
This season, despite a number of injuries, he has managed to build a solid team and is currently in seventh place, five points behind sixth-placed Manchester United. He has been heavily linked with a move away and has been touted as Klopp’s successor, but he has stated that he would prefer to move to Serie A if he does.
The big match between Brighton, currently seventh in the Premier League, and Roma, sixth in Serie A, will be played on March 8 at Roma’s home stadium.
