The atmosphere at Trigoria is anything but serene after the home defeat against Empoli. The club’s actions on the transfer market also had an impact, as the Giallorossi coach deemed them too slow.
The enthusiasm at Roma for Paulo Dybala ‘s choice to stay despite the tight court from Saudi Arabia was overshadowed by the ugly 2-1 home defeat against Empoli. But the Giallorossi’s poor performance against the Tuscans risks having much more serious consequences for Daniele De Rossi to deal with.
In fact, as reported in today’s edition of La Repubblica , there are many tensions at Roma and at levels well above the safety ones. While on the one hand De Rossi seems anything but satisfied with the club’s performance on the market , a point he also expressed in strong tones to CEO Lina Souloukou , on the other hand the Giallorossi coach has had to deal with the first signs of discontent within the dressing room . In short, a situation that is anything but rosy, especially if you consider that we are only on the second day of the championship.
Rumors have it that during the last training session at Trigoria, De Rossi even came to blows with Bryan Cristante following a furious argument. Roma has already denied it, but there are many rumors, with reconstructions that still show a far from serene atmosphere at Roma. It all started with a comment by Gianluca Mancini on the coach’s decision to prefer Zalewski to Dybala as a starter for the Cagliari match, with the Argentine still in full negotiations to go to Saudi Arabia. This comment sparked a heated discussion, which ended in the locker room.
Certainly not the best way to approach the super challenge against Juventus , who are at full points, and to experience the final days of the transfer market with sporting director Ghisolfi working to try to complete the squad available to De Rossi, who is called upon to bring the Giallorossi back to the Champions League after several years.
