Daniele De Rossi has been speaking ahead of Roma’s International Champions Cup clash against Liverpool tonight. He began by explaining that; “We have always been in a hurry to organise our season by August of September, sometimes there’s been a feeling that we could be stronger and other times not. My career in football has taught me that what happens in July and August is not always of real importance”.
 

When asked about Juve’s extravagant summer on the transfer market he replied; “To arrive in front of them will be difficult but strange things can happen in football, just look at Leicester City and Portugal”. When his future came up for discussion, the 33-year-old stated that; “I’m not thinking at the moment whether this will be my final season here. There are rumours going around but sooner or later I will sit down at home and make my decision”.
