The match against Inter Milan at home will be the biggest test for De Rossi because the rivalry between the two is quite prestigious and As Roma must win if they want to catch up in the standings. It feels a little difficult because Inter Milan are in good form at the moment and De Rossi will definitely have a hard time facing them.
It was a very large test and almost impossible to complete. How could you give the match against Inter as a test for De Rossi? I mean, even if Roma loses the match, it doesn't mean that De Rossi is unable to carry out his duties well because the opponent is Inter Milan, the strongest team in Serie A at the moment. Maybe we can use the match against Ac Milan or Atalanta as a test for De Rossi to show the development of the team he is coaching. Or at least the match against Feyenoord in the European league. I think it would be more appropriate to look at De Rossi's capacity as the new coach of As Roma.
The Inter match is also important because both the players and the technical staff must be prepared in the best possible way in matches with a very high level of difficulty. Therefore, the Inter match will be a good match for De Rossi, not for criticism, but to see his preparation for big matches. Inter has built a very good squad both last year and this year and they are running from success to success. If De Rossi plays a superior game in that match, then he will deserve praise.
