[ID: A short video with only music for audio; it shows players for AS Roma walking into their home stadium. Daniele De Rossi, a bearded man in a suit, walks past the camera and gives the viewer a small smirk; as he passes, the camera lingers on a framed player jersey behind him on the wall, which reads DE ROSSI and the number 16.]
Like most Roma fans, I had very mixed emotions when Mourinho was sacked, because like most fans I loved him at Roma and I know how much he loved the fans. I was sad and angry that he was leaving. But I was also excited because to finish out the season, the owners brought in Daniele de Rossi as manager. De Rossi is a Roman-born former elite player who spent his entire adult player career with Roma; he is a high saint in the team pantheon.
And, for his first game as head coach today, Roma scored twice in the first half and won 2-1 at full time. Granted, Hellas Verona are not a super intimidating team to be playing against for Roma, but still. Nice to see him working well with the lads and winning first time out.
Anyway, loved this clip of the team walking in, De Rossi walking past his own framed jersey, and giving the camera a little smirk. Okay, bud, let's see what you can do.
Hehehe. Means now I can focus on Jamie in Liverpool pt. 3. Or Daddy A fic fully. (and of course Txoria txori will be there somewhere)
Pairing: Francesco Totti/Daniele De Rossi
Rating: Mature
Warning: Francesco is Sad and Fit, very Franko-like and pathetic. Non-explicit, angsty, jealousy-fuelled...
