The AS Roma vice-captain reflected on their match in the World Cup where they went on to lift the trophy and whether he will be fit for the match against Germany.
The Giallorossi midfielder has been in spectacular form in all the matches he has played for the national side in the European Championships. However, he had to limp off against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in the second half due to a back injury.
The Italian was quizzed on his thought of facing off the Germans, who the Italians eliminated on their way to lifting the trophy, and there have been suggestions that the Germans would be at a psychological disadvantage due to their prior history.
The Azzurri midfielder was deputised as the central defender in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and
the second game was against Slaven Bilic’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879. The midfielder put in commanding displays on both the occasions and won a lot of plaudits for his performances.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 player went on to state that it would be a pity to miss out on the match against the Germans, especially due to an injury, he went ahead to state:
“Nobody wants to miss out on an Italy-http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 worth the Final of the Euros. All my teammates feel the same way and it would be a real shame to miss out due to a physical problem.”
The player went ahead to comment on their match at the World Cup, and De Rossi felt there were similarities between now and then, and remarked:
“It was a special night as everything pointed to a German victory, yet that wasn’t how it panned out. I see some similarities, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 aren’t beaten yet and could go into another historic night.”
The midfielder was quizzed about the extent of his injury, and went on to state that it was not just the backache as there were other concerns too. However, he was hopeful that he would be passed fit to play against Joachim Low's side.
Cesare Prandelli would be hoping that De Rossi manages to shake off his injury and is able to play in Krakow against the Germans.
