The Giallorossi boss not willing to compromise on discipline; lamenting the bad dressing room atmosphere for the defeat against Atalanta.
AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 was not prepared to take on Atalanta, so he dropped him for the game.
Atalanta thrashed Roma 4-1 at Stadio Atleti Azzurri on Sunday, February 26, and De Rossi was forced to see his team’s humiliation from the stands. It is believed that the striker turned up few minutes late for the team meeting,
and was dropped for that reason.
Enrique refused to reveal the details of the matter, and has insisted that the talismanic midfielder did not look prepared for the game. The tactician said that no player is superior to the norms of the club, and he will not compromise
on the discipline.
While talking to the reporters, Luis Enrique said,
“I don’t talk about what happens in the locker room. Daniele did not seem prepared and if I don’t see a player looking prepared then I don’t send him on to the field. I explained myself, right? I am certain that today any other
player would not have made the difference. I am building a team and that requires responsibilities that for me are non-negotiable.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B coach conceded that his team played awfully and deserved to lose the game. The Giallorossi official admitted that the players were distracted with the incident that took place in the dressing room, and had
to pay the price for it in the ground.
“I don’t know whether my team will go out there distracted or ready to play good football. We were distracted from the first minute today and it is starting to become a problem.”
Enrique has had to deal with a lot of dressing room issues since taking over the managerial role at the club. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Erik-Lamela-c12758 were involved in a bust-up recently, with the former being handed with a 10 day ban.
As a result of the defeat, Roma lose their 5th place to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan in their respective week 25 match.
