Paulo Dybala unveils the impact Daniele De Rossi has had on the Roma squad following Jose Mourinho’s departure, highlighting that the team’s recent goal was a result of training ground experimentation.
Roma appears to have left the Mourinho era far behind, securing three consecutive wins under new manager Daniele De Rossi. Their latest victory, a commanding 4-0 triumph over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, featured goals from Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Dean Huijsen, alongside a rare clean sheet, the first since defeating Napoli 2-0 on December 23 in Serie A.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Dybala expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, emphasizing their improved composure and execution, especially in contrast to the previous two wins where they encountered some difficulties. He highlighted the upcoming challenges ahead.
Of particular note was the second goal, a remarkable team effort initiated by Dybala’s dummy in midfield and finished by La Joya following an intricate play involving Stephan El Shaarawy and Romelu Lukaku.
Dybala attributed the goal’s success to the team’s diligent training during the week, despite the less than optimal pitch conditions.
The transformation within the team under De Rossi’s guidance extends beyond tactical adjustments, as Dybala suggests. De Rossi’s deep understanding of the city and club has injected enthusiasm and clarity into the squad, prompting them to tap into their latent potential.
The extended training periods without fixtures allowed the players to grasp De Rossi’s vision more effectively.
Roma now trails Atalanta by a single point in fourth place, with Atalanta yet to play their postponed match against Inter scheduled for February 28. The upcoming clash against league leaders Inter presents a significant challenge for Roma, but Dybala remains optimistic, citing the support of the home crowd as a factor in their favour.
