5 AS Roma players to watch out for in the 2018-19 Serie A season

# 4 Daniel De Rossi

Juventus v AS Roma - Serie A

An experienced Daniel De Rossi has been a consistent performer for AS Roma since his arrival at the club. Although the 35-year-old has slowed down a bit De Rossi remains a key figure in the midfield. The Italian remains an influential figure whose intensity and never say die attitude will always remain a motivating factor for some of the younger players of the side.

The midfielder has the ability to win the ball from the opposition with his intelligent moves and aggressive tackles. Daniel De Rossi can outclass any defence with his swift moves and can be quite dangerous inside the box as the Italian is quite capable of scoring goals from unusual positions.

De Rossi will surely remain a vital component in Eusebio Di Francesco’s game plan. De Rossi can be a clever operator during set pieces. His partnership with Javier Pastore in the midfield will be crucial for AS Roma. In the last Serie A season, De Rossi could score only 1 goal in 22 games but looked strong technically especially during crunch situations. Although the 35-year-old veteran hasn't scored a goal in 9 Serie A games this season his experience of playing against some big clubs in Europe could be vital for the team.
