Dybala: ‘With De Rossi there is enthusiasm. We want the Champions League. Mourinho…’

The Roma forward commented on the team’s momentum after scoring a brace and winning 4-0 against Cagliari: “We understood the moments of the match and did what we practiced during the week.

Paulo Dybala one of the best players in the victory over Cagliari, scoring a brace, and undoubtedly one of the key players that Daniele De Rossi relies on the most to achieve fourth place: “We are happy, I believe we played the game we wanted. We understood the moments of the match. It’s the third consecutive win, and this one came with more tranquility. We have desire and enthusiasm, now there is a tougher match,” he says. “The goal? A fantastic action, it’s what we practice during the week with the ball on the ground. The pitch is not was the best condition, but that was a very nice goal.”

Dybala reflects on the differences between the current management and the previous one: “Mourinho and De Rossi are different,” he explains. “We looked at ourselves after what happened, and Daniele brought enthusiasm. He knows these people. We (the players) also brought out something that we had inside but weren’t showing.”

Now there’s Inter: “The Champions League is our objective. It will be difficult against Inter, they are the strongest team in the league, but we will be at home with our people supporting us. We hope to do very well.”

The comparison with Totti? De Rossi’s words please me

De Rossi compared Dybala to Totti: “For someone like him who shared so many years with Francesco, it pleases me a lot. Obviously, Totti was unique player here in Rome and in Italy, so I can only be pleased with his words,” he added.

Finally, another thought on Mourinho: “The things I needed to say, I said to him privately. It’s not nice to lose a coach halfway through the season. I believe the blame is on everyone. In football, coaches pay, but we players also need to look inside and understand what happened.”
