De Rossi: "I've never thought about leaving Roma"
08/21/2012
FOREIGN LURE
Today I can tell you the truth, in this conference that I hold every year. I
couldn't speak in Irdning because I was trying to work out how far the
rumours would go, I wanted to square the circle. I didn't speak about it
while I was with Italy out of respect for you. I've decided to speak up
today, but I have no intention of launching World War 3. If we're talking
about the interest other teams have shown in me, I think it's no different to
the offers that always get made for important players. But this is where I
feel I must speak my mind: I'm here, I'm happy in Rome and I've never asked
to move. There's been talk about messages with Mancini, phone calls and
reported quotes: all sorts of things have been written. While certain
articles just make me smile because they're always written by the same
people, who I'm already wrangling with in the courts, others are more serious
and might make people think bad of me. The only thing I can promise is that
the day I wish to leave Roma – though I doubt that will happen because I'm
29 – I'll come here and take responsibility for my decision. I'll say “I
want to leave.” But I've never said that, not to the directors of Roma nor
to the directors of any other club. That's the truth and I hope you believe
it. I hope that the integrity I've shown throughout my career backs me up in
this. I have never asked to leave Roma.
NOT FOR SALE
It's difficult to quantify what you would call an indecent proposal because
some people think I'm worth 100 and others 0. I think what Sabatini said,
that nobody can be considered 'not for sale', is true. We've always seen that
in football. In the past people like Zidane and other amazing players have
been sold, so my position could certainly be placed in doubt if a huge offer
were to come in. I know that lots of fans are very fond of me - we saw that
at the stadium during the friendly the other night. And I think I would
always like to be seen as important not only because I'm from Rome but also
because I'm a good footballer.
FIRM OFFERS
The club that you all know enquired about me, although I could name a few
others that showed a lesser interest. Something started happening during the
Euros but the biggest steps were taken by the club you all know about.
Relations with Mancini? My agent is always my contact. I speak to him and he
works in my interest. I've only spoken to Mancini one time. I told him what I
thought. There's mutual respect between us and I hope he does well but he's
not a friend I speak to regularly. Was there a lot of pressure? It was more a
media thing and it was soon over. Somebody even quoted Mancini as having said
something like, “If you stay at Roma you'll end up the same way as Totti.”
He never said those words to me. As far as I know, the Man City manager
rates Totti massively. The captain will end his career with at least one
Scudetto and I would sign right now for the same. Admittedly that's not a lot
for a player like Totti: I think he deserves bigger rewards. I'm a good
player but I'm not as talented as he is. Winning a Scudetto in the next five
years would mean rounding off my career in the best way possible, although
I'd rather win five of course!
CHOICES
Has the club ever thought about selling me? That's obviously a question I
think the club should answer. But, having said that, I know that the club
consider me to be a very important player and not long ago they gave me a
huge contract, involving figures that we're unlikely to see again in Italy.
As far as I'm concerned, I made my choice five months ago – in many ways I
made it 30 years ago when I was born – but I can confirm that choice now.
Five months ago when I signed my new contract it was snowing; I haven't
changed my mind now that there's a a 40°C heat and it's summer - my opinion
doesn't change with the weather! As I said, I've never thought about leaving.
What would I do if the club decided to sell me? I've always told my agent,
clubs who were interested in me and Roma the same thing, that I wanted to
stay here. If for whatever reason I no longer figured in the club's plans,
depending on the reason I would consider my options. For example, I remember
that Nesta situation: Lazio were in serious financial trouble and had no
choice but to sell him, and he accepted it. But I don't think that's the case
at Roma at the moment.
PLEASED WITH THE CLUB'S TRANSFER DEALINGS
After our final game last season, against Cesena, I was asked what Roma
needed in order to become more competitive in the future, so I said that
investments were needed. And investments have been made over the last few
months. Players that were wanted by other clubs have ended up here. Not just
a great striker and a great full-back but also other players I didn't know
before and who I'm getting to know now. In that sense an answer has been
given. Obviously it's sad that certain players who were part of the old guard
here in Trigoria have left: Heinze, Cassetti, Pizarro, Okaka and so on. Those
lads gave a lot to our old group both on the pitch and in the dressing room.
But lots of excellent players have come in now and it's with these players
that we can start afresh. I think we “old” players can and must help them
to rebuild the good things we had in the past.
NEW ARRIVALS
There isn't one player in particular that I've been impressed by. They are
all good. I knew Destro and Balzaretti before but the nicest surprise has
been Piris and Tachtsidis, as they were players I didn't know before, but I
wouldn't like to be forgetting anyone. Bradley? He's even better than I
thought. But let's not forget Lamela, Bojan and Osvaldo, who have wonderful
attacking ability and could do incredible things playing Zeman's football.
Romagnoli? He hasn't just been discovered because my father coached him in
the Primavera and I knew what sort of a player he was. I hope that he and
Marquinhos are ready to perform well.
AN AMBITIOUS TEAM
Win the Scudetto? I don't want to stick my neck out because you can end up
looking silly if you talk up your chances at the start of the season. I hope
the team can at least get into the Champions League, but that won't be an
easy task either. My dream, having had a very good European Championship with
Italy, is to be playing top-level European football with Roma again. As for
Serie A, I must say that we've bolstered our ranks more than other clubs and
I think the difference in quality, if there was one, has been reduced now.
Juve probably still have the strongest squad but it's not always the
strongest that wins, as we saw last season when AC Milan went into the
campaign as everybody's favourites. Still, my feeling is that we can have a
great season.
PERSONAL EXPECTATIONS
How do I expect my own game to improve under Zeman? I couldn't say at the
moment. On the pitch I see that when I pick up the ball in midfield the
forwards are making all sorts of movements ahead of me so it might be easier
for me to get more assists. Maybe if I played further up the field, which is
not entirely out of the question, I could score more goals myself. We'll see.
ZEMAN
It was written in the papers that I have problems with the coach. That is a
total lie. It's true that on a personal level I got on very well with the
previous coach, Luis Enrique. and that I hoped we could be successful with
him on the pitch but it didn't turn out like that – though for what it's
worth I am convinced that he could have become a success. Then when they were
deciding on the new coach and there was talk of it being between Montella and
Zeman, if I have to be completely honest I initially hoped it would be
Montella because I knew him well and I thought I might have some problems
with Zeman. But I've got to know him now over the weeks and he's totally
different to the person I thought he was. He's a lovely person, much more so
than you might expect him to be, and I get on really well with him. As for
the work on the pitch, yeah it's tough and we have to run a lot, but I think
in the end that motivates us.
COMMENTS AND CONFRONTATION
Could the comments Zeman made about Juve prevent us from winning games? I
don't think so, not any more. One thing's for sure, the atmosphere is pretty
heated even before the season has started: not only for the exchange of words
between the boss and Juve but also because of what happened in the Super Cup.
As a fan I obviously feel the rivalry with Juventus but with the Bianconeri
players it's different, since many of them are friends of mine. Having said
that, I think the coach should be free to speak his mind. Often the things
he's said have turned out to be influential in the world of football. What
I'd like now is for all this enthusiasm sparked by his arrival to be
converted into results for us on the pitch.
AFFECTION
The fans gave me a wonderful display of affection during the Aris game, as
always. I'm sure people will be quick to say bad things about me when I make
mistakes, and some people will bring money into it, that's something you
always get in football. The offer I got from abroad? I spoke when I renewed
in January. Today I'm just here to talk on a personal level. If I do ever
leave, I'll come and tell you all about it in a press conference. I won't
duck away or pass the responsibility on to somebody else.
THE NEW AND THE OLD
What differences are there between Luis Enrique and Zeman? I can't compare
them. I got on really well with Luis Enrique both on a professional and a
personal level but I haven't spent much time with Zeman yet. Problems
adapting to his style of football? I don't think you need to somersault
around the pitch to understand what he wants. There are different ways of
interpreting the game but at the end of the day it's still football.
