“I liked him against Croatia,” said Giannini. “He played better than he did against Spain but I still expect more because he’s got lots of quality at his disposal.”

“He’s someone important. Only at Roma can people criticize a player like him,” he added.

“Sure, during the year he may not always play his best in every match, but for Roma he is a crucial player,” Giannini continued.

“Roma? At the moment I fully trust in De Rossi. He’s the one certainty they have,” he concluded.
