Daniele De Rossi on what it means to be a Roma fan: “We are all equal members of a large family.” | OneFootball

Roma legend and former head coach Daniele De Rossi attended the presentation of the book by Il Romanista journalist Tonino Cagnucci, “The great novel of Rome.”

During the book presentation, the legendary Giallorossi captain said a few words about being a fan of the capital club.

“Saying what Roma means to me is almost banal, if I had to try I would say that it is a beautiful moment, in which we are all equal members of a large family: each one can experience it in their own way, some by cheering for it, some by dedicating a career to it, and some by writing a book like this.”

“To say what Rome is for me there is no word, we would go into the banal, for each of us it is a constant part of our life, of the emotional sphere and for me also of work.”

“There are places similar to ours in terms of passion, for us it is something so big that we write a book, shout it at the stadium, make a banner if you don’t get through with your voice. There is a moment in which there are no more social classes, we are all equal in the same family.”
