Daniele De Rossi talks team selection ahead of Genoa kick-off

Daniele De Rossi discussed his selection for today’s afternoon fixture with Genoa at the Marassi.

The Roma technician was interviewed by DAZN a few minutes before kick-off.

“Hermoso needs a little time to be at his best, he can play, but putting him on today meant having a change to make.”

“He’ll come in and give us a hand, like Hummels. I’m confident, maybe it would have been better to make them debut at home.”

“The match? Even the numbers tell us that Genoa makes you play in their own half, you just have to not lose the ball.”

“I like playing with three at the back, you can alternate these players. It’s right to give minutes to El Shaarawy, after a difficult start it’s now right to give him confidence.” 

“Totti? His words always make noise. Today we think about the match. I say he would give an arm for me and I would give an arm for him.”
