Voetbalnieuws.nl He analyzed Roma's defense before Mourinho's departure and after the champion's departure. “The Roma side that met Feyenoord under Mourinho was very different from the team that De Rossi now sends onto the pitch every week. In both the 2022 Conference League Final and the double a year later, the Roma played in a sort of 3-4, where The outside midfielders cover the entire wings. At that time, they were Leonardo Spinazzola, Nikola Zalewski and Rick Karsdorp, and it makes sense that only two of them would play at a time. Rotterdam's strikers had a lot of difficulties with the centre-backs. A three-man block.”

However, things are different now. “Given the system De Rossi is currently playing in, it appears that Santiago Jimenez, if fit, is able to get a little more space in some situations,” he wrote. Voetbalnieuws.nl. De Rossi has allowed Roma to play in a 4-3-3 formation since his arrival. This coach also uses offensive linebackers. Karsdorp has secured a starting spot, but Zalewski and Spinazzola appear to be content with a place on the bench. New signing Angelino is the left-back in the Italian capital, and the central defensive line has also been overhauled. The analysis stated that Dutchman Den Huysen or Diego Llorente form the central duo alongside Gianluca Mancini, Jimenez’s tormentor.
