GIALLOROSSI YORKSHIRE BLOG
Giallorossi Yorkshire's weekly feature, asking fans to pick their favourite Roma five-a-side team, returns with a contribution from across the Atlantic.
Name: Salvatore LaRizza Location: Toronto, Canada Team: Alisson Becker - A glistening gem on the current Roma roster & perhaps in the team's goalkeeping history. Has the potential to be one of the world's best (if he isn’t already in contention) & starter for the Brazilian national team. Integral part of Roma’s current season and potential future. Enough said! Philippe Mexès - More of a personal choice on this one. The Frenchman had always been my favourite defender when I was younger. He played the position with a gladiatorial attitude and was a key player in Roma’s Coppa Italia victories in 06/07 & 07/08. Daniele De Rossi - What can you say... on the same path as Francesco Totti in terms of his life long commitment to the Roma shirt. The Roman-born bleeds Giallorossi & has been an important part of a Roma midfield that spans 438 games. Edin Džeko - After a rough first season with Roma, Džeko has established himself as Roma’s biggest threat upfront in several years! He beat Roma’s all time scoring record [for a single season] in his second season with Roma scoring 39 goals in all competitions that season. I must take credit for buying his jersey immediately after I found out about his transfer! Gabriel Batistuta - The Argentinian acquired the nickname “Batigol” for his clinical ability to put the football past goalkeepers. Roma’s top scorer during the 2001 season in which Roma won their third Scudetto. Feels wrong not to include Totti, but Roma fans already know he is number 1 in our hearts.
