Monza-Roma, numbers and statistics
Among the teams challenged at least three times in Serie A, only against Atalanta (zero) did Monza collect fewer points than against Roma (one, equal to Lazio); the draw, however, came in the only home match against the Giallorossi in the competition (1-1, 3 May 2023). After having collected only two points in the first six matches against Lazio teams in Serie A (2D, 4L), Monza won the most recent match, the only one of this type played so far by the Brianza team in 2024: 3-2 on the pitch of Frosinone on 6 January. Roma have won only one of the six matches played in this championship against teams from Lombardy (1N, 4P), even if the success came against Monza in the first leg (1-0, 22 October 2023). Monza is coming off two victories in a row in Serie A and under Palladino’s management they have already managed to achieve three consecutive successes in the tournament twice: in the first three matches under the guidance of the Neapolitan coach (September-October 2022) and in April 2023.

De Rossi, change of communication strategy
De Rossi, perhaps understanding the fragility of some elements of the squad who are unable to withstand the pressure of public stimuli from a coach, has so far only used the carrot – at least publicly – and never the stick. Therefore extolling all the players available in his squad. Time and time again DDR has publicly reiterated that it has a strong team, of champions, of players who have great qualities and the means to achieve qualification for the Champions League. A change in strategy also in communication

Rome, De Rossi and the pact with the team
The work was the first step to improve the results, but also the feeling that was immediately created between the team and the new coach certainly contributed in an important way. In fact, De Rossi immediately related to the group with great enthusiasm and desire to do things, immediately pushing the players to reverse their performance through a change of mentality. The relationship between De Rossi and the team is excellent, created both at Fulvio Bernardini and outside. As in the dinner organized and offered by the coach to the whole team about ten days ago in a restaurant in Ostia. A pact between staff and group, a bond that is increasingly evident even during the match. BACKGROUND

Rome, De Rossi’s conference over
Daniele De Rossi’s press conference before Monza-Roma has ended
10:30
De Rossi on Monza
“Monza is a difficult team to face, I had seen the first leg and it had put Roma in great difficulty. They are less aggressive than Torino and Atalanta, perhaps they will do so against us because they saw us suffering in the first time against Toro. Zapata’s goal made it seem like we made a mistake in the area, perhaps Angelino needs more support… but then in the end in football crosses are conceded”
10:25
De Rossi on Roma’s defense
“Five central midfielders for two places? They all feel like starters (laughs, ed.). Can Mancini play more as a winger? He is someone who has football in his head, like Paredes. As a midfielder with Fonseca he played some exceptional games. They are very happy with him. It’s more of a tactical question, Angelino can also play right back. If you have a full back who is more of a centre-back, maybe you need a more ‘winger’ up front and there we have Baldanzi and Dybala who are more attacking midfielders. Then the solution we choose it from match to match, the best coach in the world plays in the Champions League final with the centre-backs on the wing, like Guardiola”
10:20
De Rossi his Walls
“Paredes is improving in what I ask of him, let’s not even waste time talking about ball management. A little straighter, more vertical and faster, he’s very intelligent. He was a little more instinctive while a midfielder has to be reflexive, he has to do things visible but also invisible. A feisty one like I was is fine but stalling is too important and he is understanding this very well, he has these clever tricks in one on one like a pure Argentine, I like how he is playing the role and as a central midfielder I allow myself give him some more advice”
10:18
De Rossi on Smalling
“Smalling is finishing the running-in phase, maybe it’s an exaggerated concern on my part but when you haven’t played for a long time the knee is fine but the muscles are no longer used to certain shots or distances. My idea was to put two guard dogs on the sides like this to limit his range of action. We work as a team and I am the last piece. In Frosinone he was a starter, after so many months you feel like you have never played football. I tried to protect him but he will be important for us regardless of the side”
10:16
De Rossi on Dan and Ryan Friedkin’s Roma
“A sense of demobilization? I don’t feel it. The club provides us with the serenity we are enjoying, the results also give us a hand. If you go to the sports centers of the big teams, the clubs manage to put the team in the ideal condition to take the field without thinking about the rest. They are available, if I pick up the phone Dan and Ryan Friedkin are always there for me. For the rest it is not my field and I have no say in the matter: the best thing I can do is concentrate on the field”.
10:13
De Rossi on Lukaku
“Tactical change in Dybala’s position? He scored a goal from a penalty, one from 30 meters and one with an insertion of his own, there is nothing tactical. He could score them even if we played with the 5-5-0. Lukaku under discussion? Everyone is under discussion, me first and foremost. Sometimes the choices are based on performance, he is a star who comes in, runs like a madman, rubs shoulders with everyone: better conditions don’t exist. It’s not surprising that he comes in like that, it’s his job, here there are no players who come in nervous, I didn’t like players like that even when I played. They’re not my rules and from this point of view Romelu is the perfect player”
10:10
De Rossi on the Roma group
“Is Roma more of a family than yesterday? I don’t know what it was like, they told me but I try to do my job as I always have, even when I was a captain or a senator in the locker room. The role is different when you are captain you are everyone’s friend while as a coach you have to send us someone on the bench. If we are not yet a family, we are going in that direction. That is the way the team lives, the players must be happy to come to the pitch and train, doing a job that must be perfect physically and mentally. It’s tiring but we are fine and they must know that they will be fine because they have a coach and a staff who are friends but they have to come and do their job”
10:08
De Rossi on Palladino
“We have some tactical doubts, we prepare more than one match, we are ready whether they defend with three or four. I respect Palladino a lot, we also spoke a few days ago, we did the UEFA course together and I’m happy for him”
10:05
De Rossi his Karsdorp and Dybala
“They’re all fine, they’re all available except Karsdorp who has a knee problem, nothing serious. And Abraham. When you have many good players you put the formation that makes you win the match knowing that you can change without lowering the quality. Dybala is fine. , we have to be happy with his condition, it’s a psychophysical issue as well as a physical one. But I’m satisfied with him like the others”
