De Rossi: “Saelemaekers? He’s perhaps the most important player we’ve signed”

In the post-match interview after Juventus - Roma, the Sunday evening Serie A match that ended 0-0, Roma coach Daniele De Rossi spoke to DAZN, commenting not only on the game but also on Alexis Saelemaekers, who arrived on the last day of the transfer window from Milan in a loan swap with Tammy Abraham.

Here are his statements:

"Alexis is an important player for us and perhaps the most important one we could have signed."

Roma's coach, De Rossi, added:

"In the first phase of the transfer window, we were looking for more instinctive players, but then we shifted towards someone more complete. We acquired a player (Saelemaekers) who contributes both defensively and offensively."
