Kolarov hails influence of 'critical' De Rossi at Roma

Roma star Aleksandar Kolarov has hailed the influence of Daniele de Rossi at the club, saying that he is very 'critical' for the club.

Kolarov was talking to the AS Roma website and he talked about the influence of Daniele de Rossi at the club.

He said: "He is critical. In my career I have seen so few fans and so attached to the team in which he plays. I now give everything for Rome, but I can never say that I am more De Rossi's Romanist.

"I've never seen someone so attached to the shirt. He is essential in the locker room, even when he does not play. And now that he is returning to the field, he immediately feels."

The 33-year-old Kolarov has has appeared in 18 Serie A games this season, scoring five times and assisting once.
