Paulo Dybala will be there in the last championship match that Roma will play in Empoli. This is the news that Daniele De Rossi communicates urbi et orbi in the press conference that closes his first period – almost six months – on the Giallorossi bench: “Paulo has trained continuously and can play”. However, no comment on the arrival of the new sporting director (Technical Area Manager) Ghisolfi: “Roma has made a statement talking about the new sporting director, the first impressions are good. We have a lot of time to talk about the transfer market. But today we’re talking about tomorrow’s match “. More eloquent however when it comes to commenting on his experience as a coach in Trigoria: “These months have reminded me of things that I already knew. There are people who can’t wait to remind you that you don’t do some things well. I was good at living that moment. I had confirmation on things that I need to improve from a tactical and management point of view. My staff and I are in the right place. Then football is a book that is written every day not even an entire season. The next one will be fundamental to creating something lasting.”

Despite aiming to stay for a long time, however, DDR does not let slip half a clue regarding the next transfer session and Roma’s objectives: “We have 7/8 loans and some players with expiring contracts, so if I had to consider this the formation would not it would make sense. I have to do it to win the match tomorrow, we want to play a good match, we want to score points also to maintain this trend that is starting again in our championship. Just look at the last match against Genoa, they gave us a hard time at the end even if they didn’t play anything, and rightly so. Let’s play the match as it should be done. For the Champions League, I think it’s unlikely that Atalanta won’t score the points they need to get above fifth place projected on what we need next year so as not to wait for fixes and favors to obtain a goal. If it were to be the Europa League it will be something we will do with great pleasure, it is a cup that reminds me of my football childhood. There could also be positive aspects.” Instead, regarding the preparation that the team will carry out in the summer: “When you create a staff you have to try to complete it with people who have more experience than you. My trainer has done around thirty pre-seasons so I I will rely on him and my experience as a footballer. I know how it feels when you work very hard in some parts of the world.”

Finally, a comment on Atalanta’s victory in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen: “Playing a final is a little different than playing a double match with a team that on paper is stronger than you. They were better, they had more energy, they had a more linear path. It was a troubled season for Roma, we had to chase, we played an extra round in Europe. And then they are made, even as a squad, to hold their own against all opponents. They have been playing together for many years, almost 10 years, they know each other better. I think it will be a good challenge to try to replicate what they did. They have a lot of ideas, a lot of money to spend.”
