Daniele De Rossi has noted that his tactical approach remains largely unchanged despite replacing Romelu Lukaku with Artem Dovbyk, who joined Roma permanently from Girona earlier this summer. De Rossi mentioned that while he and his coaching team initially provided extensive instructions to the new arrivals, they are gradually allowing more creative freedom as the players settle in.
De Rossi believes that transitioning from Lukaku to Dovbyk as the starting striker has required minimal adjustments to his strategy.
Regarding Dovbyk, De Rossi remarked during his pre-match press conference: “The instructions are quite similar to those given to Lukaku.” He praised Dovbyk’s finishing ability, his connection with teammates, and his tactical discipline.
Dovbyk arrived at Roma after an outstanding season with Girona, where he was the top scorer in LaLiga with 24 goals.
De Rossi added that while the coaching staff initially focused on providing detailed guidance, they are now encouraging players to express themselves more freely.
He made these comments ahead of Roma’s Serie A opener against Cagliari, scheduled for Sunday evening at 19:45 BST.
