The former head coach of the newly promoted Serie A outfit, Pescara, has gone on to state on the importance of Daniele De Rossi for Roma and reflected on his role.
The Czech tactician and the World Cup winning Italian midfielder had been in the news for all the wrong reasons in the past few weeks; however, things have simmered down now, and the two are on amicable terms. Zeman had dropped the vice captain of AS Roma,
in their Serie A match against Atalanta, along with Pablo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Osvaldo due to a lack of commitment in the training field.
The former Delfini boss had also publicly commented on the reasons for his exclusion from the side against Atalanta, and had told the two players to pull their weight in training sessions if they were to make it make back to the starting line up. Daniele
De Rossi was visibly unhappy with the decision, however, he did not make a comment regarding the matter; and the personnel at Roma downplayed his exclusion from the squad as well.
However, after putting the two back in the side, and praising http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 is being
played in.
Defending his decision to field the player in central midfield, Zeman commented that the former Roma youth player has never been a trequartista and he has always played in the conventional role of midfield; and pinpointed David Pizarro as the trequartista
in the Giallorossi team.
Furthermore, he also commented that the versatility of De Rossi goes against him at times, and he needs to play in the role he is naturally adept at. Moreover, he remarked:
“I have to make a decision. I’m amazed at all of you here because you all know that De Rossi has never been a playmaker, that role was filled by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Pizarro-c10581. De Rossi was used as a regista last season? He was also used as a central defender. Daniele has
been playing to the side of the central midfielder for eight years and I don’t see why there should be a problem this term.”
Zeman’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 have been inconsistent this season; which is a reason why there is so much criticism over every move he makes.
