actually roma's opponents are only 2 weak teams verona and salernitana. but de rossi has a positive impact is true. because de rossi is a native roma player from the academy to the senior team before retiring to move to a team in argentina. and after retiring back to Italy again. so of course he knows the officials of AS roma and the players well. so mixing players so that the team wins will be very easy.
Even though De Rossi is a former legendary player, it cannot be guaranteed whether he will succeed in finishing in the top 5 in the points table because after this he will face another strong club and I also haven't seen a positive impact from De Rossi.
One way for me to see whether it has had a positive influence is to look at Roma match against Inter and look at Roma performance in the UEL and if in both of these matches Roma fails, do you still believe De Rossi is one of the coaches who has had a positive influence?
Getting to know all of Roma top brass is just another experience apart from talent, meaning it has nothing to do with the club's future performance.
