GIALLOROSSI YORKSHIRE BLOG
Every Friday on Giallorossi Yorkshire, a Roma fan names their all-time dream Roma five-a-side team. Today's has been chosen by Laura, and sees one current Roma defender picked for the first time in this series.
Name: Laura Gibbs Location: Bedford, England Team: Tempted as I am to choose such legends as Giannini and Montella, perhaps foolishly, I feel I can't having not witnessed them in action. My baptism into to the Romanisti and indeed football itself, didn't come until April 2011 in the stands of the curva. So. Francesco Totti - How can he not be my striker? No other player could turn a match around from certain defeat to victory in a mere 4 minutes! As well as his obvious goal scoring talent he has the ability to read and control the game. The phrase "game changer" was invented for him. The only forward I need in my heavily defensive team. Daniele De Rossi - Who doesn't need a talented Roman defensive midfielder with a side order of an elbow in the face? Passionate, occasionally hot headed, severely underrated outside of Rome. Seeing the entire Italian defence fall apart when he was subbed off in the Euros is all the evidence I need. Aleksandar Kolarov - Easily the best signing of last summer. Steady, dependable with a touch of psycho simmering beneath the surface. The added bonus is that he's hated by Lazio fans! Lucas Digne - Two words... Come back! I was sorely disappointed Roma didn't sign him permanently. He was eager, always pushing forward but without letting his true position suffer, never seemed to put a foot wrong defensively and fitted perfectly with the team. Alisson Becker - Despite my soft spot for De Sanctis, it has to be Alisson after last season's performance. I doubt we'd have reached the Champions League without him. Also endearing is seeing the way he celebrates each goal, a real team player and a hugest loss to Roma.
