Look, AS Roma under De Rossi... its fantastic. Honestly, really enjoying it. This attacking style, its the right call. Team's playing like they have something to prove, and its working. Top 5, looking towards Champions League - thats big stuff. Frankly, Mourinho was holding them back. Too afraid of mistakes, not enough trust in the talent.
De Rossi, he gets it. Knows how to push the right buttons. And that Milan matchup? Historically tough, I understand. But with this newfound attitude, the way they're playing... yeah, Im not gonna lie, it could happen. A Roma win. Its on the table. These guys are hungry. Makes you excited as a fan, doesnt it? Whats your take? Could we be seeing an upset?
Indeed, strategically, De Rossi is braver in exploring the abilities of the players he has, this allows him to provide freedom for the players to be able to display the best game they have and for now this is giving quite good results for AS Roma. De Rossi tried to trust his players to move further out of the defense zone, which was different when Mourinho was still in charge, they had a tendency to hold back more and that actually prevented the players' potential from being fully unlocked.
There is hope and it is not impossible that AS Roma can show something more extraordinary than this. At least they have fresh air to show and with that they can compete even more closely with other teams. The difficult match they will face is against AC Milan in the European League. They must be able to show that they can also put up resistance, even though in the end they lose, they must make it difficult for Ac Milan to win the match.
