Sunday’s match at Maradona will be the first match between Daniele De Rossi coach and the Naplesbut the former midfielder of Rome, as a footballer, he has already crossed paths with the Azzurri on 21 occasions. The balance is favorable, even if it speaks of a substantial balance: 9 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. All topped off with 1 goal and 2 assists. However, considering only the matches played at the former San Paolo stadium, the balance always leans in the direction of de Rossiwith 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 knockouts.
The first and only network of DDR against the Naples arrived at the very first intersection: it was October 20, 2007 and on the benches of the two teams sat Luciano Spalletti and Edi Reja. At the Olympic stadium a pyrotechnic 4-4 came out and the Giallorossi number 16 put his signature on the temporary 3-2.
The first assist is dated 31 August 2008, when on the first day of the championship, the Rome took the lead thanks to a goal by Aquilaniserved precisely by his department mate de Rossibut then the Neapolitans managed to even the score with Hamsik and, at the Olimpico, it ended in a draw. To find the second winning pass of DDR instead we need to take a leap in time, until 15 October 2016, when number 16 provided the assist to Salah for the goal of the definitive 3-1 Giallorossi win at the San Paolo stadium.
