Roma coach Daniele de Rossi admits he has been studying predecessor Jose Mourinho's tactics in Europe.
De Rossi was speaking ahead of their Europa League clash at Feyenoord tonight.
He said: "I can't say how different I am from Mourinho. Each coach brings something of his own. I studied Mourinho's Roma a lot to know where to put my hands and then I always followed him.
"With Mourinho, Roma achieved excellent results in Europe, we must take an example from that path. Then every coach has his own ideas, his own preferences and puts something different.
"I'm happy to make my debut in Europe. It wasn't very predictable until recently. February 14th is my daughter's birthday, a year ago I was at her party. I'm sorry not to be there with Olivia. But I have to be grateful.
"I'm happy, satisfied and I have to take advantage of it. The atmosphere? Since that match I played, there have been other matches against Feyenoord, even important ones. What will it be like tomorrow. The atmosphere will be important, but then there is the pitch and we have to be focused tomorrow."

should he fail to perform, they would have to sack Mourinho for the second time. then only he would implement his own version of football

Roma owes Maurinho an apology,,after all he did for them. Imagine signing players like Lukaku,dybala,Patricio,pareses,R Sanchez and even winning winning Europa conference league as well as being last season’s uropa league runners up

he's being paid for all his services rendered, football is business, and business can't be run by emotion, everyone love mourinho but if things are not working, we have to cross our emotions and do the needful,,, as you can see, Roma has gain their form back
