■About the match against Fiorentina
De Rossi said: "If I can choose a team that I don't want to face, it is Fiorentina. They have players who can have a positive impact when you are not in good form. But we are also very strong. The stadium will be full and the players are in excellent physical condition. This will be a team that makes people excited about the future. Hope for Genoa."
■ Talking about Fiorentina's new coach Vanoli
De Rossi said: "The two teams have less time to rest. From a psychological point of view, two consecutive losses will make all the alarms go off, but it is better that they will have a little more points. Try to prepare without drastically changing tactics."
■ Talking about whether Genoa has a spirit similar to that of Roma and Boca Juniors
De Rossi said: "Life is full of coincidences. It is the same concept at Boca, just like us Roma. I had a dream to stay there for a long time, but it didn't happen, and I also accepted to defend another team. The fact of the team. If I could change teams, Genoa would be one of them, also because of the project. When I ended my playing career in Rome, I could have made a choice, but I chose Boca because of the crazy passion. Here I feel that great love can grow, but that only happens after we win games."
