The AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 head coach seems to be coming under increasing amounts of pressure following an abysmal run of form and remarked on De Rossi, Lamela amongst other things.
Things are far from being rosy under the camp of Lupi, and the club is made to feel the heat of the situation by their fans and the media. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 and Zdenek Zeman have not enjoyed the best of relationships this year, and the Czech tactician has
complained that the vice captain of the Giallorossi outfit should be more committed during his training sessions.
The training sessions of the former Pescara boss are known to be tough, and the effort put in by De Rossi along with Pablo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Osvaldo-c28821 during those sessions was frowned upon by Zeman, who told them to pull their act together. In order for them to do this,
he went on to drop them on to the bench from the team that faced off Atalanta in the Serie A.
The current complaints being lodged against Zeman have been that he is not deploying De Rossi as the regista of the squad. In defence, Zeman has stated that the World Cup winning Italian has not played as a regista for many years, furthermore, he remarked
that Des Rossi had never asked to be played in that position either.
He went on to comment:
“De Rossi has never played in that position, so I do not understand all the controversy about this. De Rossi has never asked me to play in the middle either.”
Zeman went on to remark on another player as well and stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Erik-Lamela-c12758 needs to show his prowess and strive to prove himself on the field of play. He remarked that the Argentinean had room to improve, and also commented on his faith in the team. He
was quoted to have said:
“Erik Lamela needs to be fired up a bit. He has talent, but too often does fancy footwork without finishing the chances. He can improve further. I do not have much patience, as I want everything and I want it now. The only way to get there is to work harder.
I have faith.”
Roma are currently level on 14 points with Cagliari and are in danger of slipping down the Serie A standings.
