Roma fullback Rasmus Kristensen was asked about Daniele De Rossi’s impact since his appointment in January.

The Danish defender insisted on De Rossi being a leader first and foremost and making the best of the team’s biggest qualities.

Following tonight’s 3-2 win over Torino, Kristensen discussed the team’s initial 3-5-2 set-up with Sky Sport.

“We were happy with it because it’s a system we know. It also enables certain individuals to shine and this was also seen tonight with Paulo Dybala,” said Kristensen.

“De Rossi? He brought personality, new ideas, his energy and his knowledge of Roma,” he added.

“Our objectives? When you are in a big club you cannot exclude any objective. We will try to get to the bottom of the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League.”
