A fun fact about Daniele De Rossi: De Rossi placed his World Cup medal in the coffin of Pietro Lombardi in Florence. The 92-year-old was Italy's kitman during their 2006 triumph and was loved by the players.
The anecdote of De Rossi being called in to a small room by Lippi to meet with Ferguson is absolutely mind blowing and he says it so casually too. A secret high level meeting during the middle of a World Cup. Incredible story.
In Italy, every argument boils down to two universal truths: each of us is convinced we’re the best chef-right after our mother-and the most brilliant football coach the world has ever seen! 😊
@diegomattia4806 staying at Roma had nothing to do with it. If anything, overly loyal players usually get overrated. He rarely gets mentioned in any conversations about the best this or the best that of his era. I'd say he was criminally underrated
@@dky555 The reason is simple: there have been players better than him. It’s not a matter of De Rossi being underrated, as you claim, unless you’re suggesting that Pirlo, Iniesta, and others are on the same tier as him. Don’t get me wrong-I’m Italian, I admire De Rossi both as a player and a person. However, even among Roman fans, few would argue that Daniele ranks among the all-time greatest midfielders if you had to choose one standout player. Anyhow, you are entitled to your opinion..Have a great night! :)
probably cause they grew up watching Ferguson's united. Same when i meet people of my age (around 30) outside italy they all love AC Milan cause it was the best when they were growing up
grammar is important... WANTED past tense (correct, well done)... When you're big, you're big! (incorrect) when you WERE big, you WERE big (simply past)......😁 Unlucky for some 13th lol
What De Rossi said about Boca Juniors is very true, they are the most passionate fans in the world. The 4 oldboys should take a trip to Argentina to see just how incredible the atmosphere in the stadiums compares.
Every club in Argentina has fans like boca the Argentines are a different level I’ve been to a Newells game vs Rosario central the entire city shuts down no shops no busses no taxi’s noting open staff members in the hotel having to get the police involved to get people to and from the stadium 12 security check points to get into the stadium and if you wasn’t wearing a Newells shirt you’d get a lot of abuse.. fantastic country
What an amazing character he is, he might not fill the boots of great Francesco Totti, but he was an underappreciated player like Michael Carrick... hats off to you Mr. De Rossi...
Absolutely love to hear Carrick getting his flowers. Completely outstanding footballer. Should have been used a lot more by England earlier in his career, he was exactly what we needed at the time.
Wud take De Rossi all day! Carrick was lucky he had the back 5 he had behind him, as soon as that fell apart people could finally see how bad he was defencively.
The fact that he mentioned Carrick, albeit briefly, when there was no need to at all, actually speaks volumes about the ability of Michael Carrick and of course what a great guy De Rossi is.
He's 300% ready for managing an English team I can't see issues with communication that's for sure! Great interview. Would be love to see more Italian legends. So far they have been the most entertaining. And many of them speak English, see Maldini, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Del Piero, Vieri, Gattuso
I think most football fans don’t understand. This is the most underrated midfielder in the world. And for me one of the best He could do everything, defense, offense, pass, shoot left right, good technique (not Zidane of course but better than most 6,8 ) head, long pass, leader, fighter, strong… Loyalty he stayed at Roma : fantastic but we would have loved to see what would have happened if he went to Madrid like his friend Totti. And he’s one of the few that said no to these big clubs, and not always you have a choice or the level to play there.
Just started watching and very excited. He was one of my favourite players in an era when the midfield general had kind of faded. Keane, gattuso, makelele etc had all kind of gone. De rossi (maybe also nigel de jong) was the one standout one still entering his peak and I think he would have been good in england.
Excellent....!!! What a player's!!! Talking about world football,... eating and drinking together ...!!! Good job boys !! Mio cuore e gallorossio !!! Forza grande ROMA !!!
Great Italian content, Love to see them interview Baggio . It will be marvellous episode , final of world cup, Fiorentina and Juve plus match against Keane in World Cup 94
"Miren miren qué locura/ miren miren qué emoción/ ese es el famoso "tano"/ que vino a La Boca para ser campeón". Muchas gracias Daniele!! Aguante Boca Juniors!!🇦🇷🇮🇹🇸🇪
Great interview that! Always liked Roma mainly cos of their kits I used to buy 😂 Quality player and comes across quite humble. Rides round Rome in a scooter lol
Absolutely loving these European legend podcasts! A good peak behind the curtain of a world class player. Would’ve been a dream to take him at United in his prime!
Weird that he didn't mention he wore 16 because of Roy. It's a well known thing in Italy and I thibk even Chiellini mentioned it in the previous episode, I think it would have made for a nice moment
That goal he scored in the 7-1 champions league game... 😮 still gives me chills. What an incredible player. That was a real golden era for italian midfielders
The Chiellini and De Rossi interviews have been brilliant! We definitely need more interviews from players outside the prem
100% agree. Serie A for instance had great players in the 90s and 2000s as well
Great shout
Great shout 👏 👌 👍
This is the most invested I've ever seen Roy Keane he loved this one 2 midfield generals
Yeah, there was some mutual respect going on there!! :)
You can tell he regrets not playing in Italy
He was hooked to the conversation throughout, yes
yeah, quite similar players stylistically and in terms of personality on the pitch.
Of course he would be. De Rossi chose number 16 because of the one and only Roy Keane.
A fun fact about Daniele De Rossi:
De Rossi placed his World Cup medal in the coffin of Pietro Lombardi in Florence. The 92-year-old was Italy's kitman during their 2006 triumph and was loved by the players.
No way that's awesome 👏
I wouldn't call it a 'fun fact', nevertheless - what a Great gesture.
@@marcinkoszalin😂😂
What a guy
Top class 🤌
I love how humble these great italian players are.
Daniele is special. I am Neapolitan, and I have always admired him. He is humble, intelligent, and a true warrior on the pitch!
Old school
Roma legend turning up on a scooter, doesnt get more Italian/Roman than that. Great chat, loved it.
So true
He can travel around Rome and no one will recognise him and swarm him everywhere. Genius really
In Rome is impossible to move by car. Scooter is a necessity
Its been amazing being able to listen to De Rossi and Chielini talk at length. Very compelling chats indeed
Impeccable English and accent for a guy that never had a career there. Good guy, came across really well and of course, what a player
He married British-American and reportedly loves American culture.
His English instantly reminds me of Chiesa.
@@wanr5701 chiesa was sent to an international school as a kid/teenager so thats where he learned english
Indeed, very good English and “good accent” on top of that.
English is the cheapest and easiest language in the world. Why are you shocked 😳
The anecdote of De Rossi being called in to a small room by Lippi to meet with Ferguson is absolutely mind blowing and he says it so casually too. A secret high level meeting during the middle of a World Cup. Incredible story.
Ferguson tapping on players. Why am I not surprised?
De rossi is the most roman empire looking guy ever
Francesco Totti EXISTS.
Always thought that of Lawrence Delallio, must be from Italian stock.
You'd know? You were there were you? 💀 Or you get your info from Hollybollocks did you lil kid?
@@Crispi-ws6juwhat gave that away? Maybe the Italian surname Dallaglio😂😂
2004 Francesco Totti , the most aesthetic Italian player ever
Italian players and clubs just have that aura man I can’t explain it
*Take a breather and come up for air*
They explain things very well, they seem very social. Very socially able if that makes sense
I have noticed that interview with Italian players are the best,,
They have lots of Knowledge about football,, passionate, good storyteller's 👍👍
In Italy, every argument boils down to two universal truths: each of us is convinced we’re the best chef-right after our mother-and the most brilliant football coach the world has ever seen! 😊
@@diegomattia4806 Santa verità 😂
I like to hear from football players, ex pros from other countries in addition to other podcasts that interview British footballers.
De rossi is the most criminally underrated midfielder of recent times. A genuine world class midfielder and one of the best of his generation.
The roy Keane of italy
Far better than Roy in almost every way@@sunseeker9581
A tremendous midfielder. True warrior and leader, miss watching him play.
United should have bought him around 2007/8
@@jamesbarry9477 They tried to in 2006 as they said in the interview. Got Carrick instead.
@@rugbyanalyst1he was better than Carrick, though Carrick wasn't a half bad signing!
@@keinguyen3380 Yes De Rossi was better for sure, but can't deny the success United had with Carrick.
@@rugbyanalyst1 I don't recall it, would have been a more like for like alright but Carrick was class.
What an intelligent genuine engaging guy. Much respect to him for his attitude and charisma. A true warrior on the pitch.
Ha sposato una attrice inglese
One of the most coolest badass names in world football for me. Daniele De Rossi! 🔥
Love the Italian International interviews. Would love to see a Del Piero or Baggio or Pirlo in there.
Ah baggio, but is English is probably not good
Baggio and Pirlo aren't fluent in english...
I would love to see Maldini, Del Piero and Vieri
Pirlo played in Australia i Guess he managed to learn some english@@fredjackson3264
I totally agree
Roberto Baggio the GOAT of Italy
YES more Italian legends please
Totti non parla inglese ahahah manneggia
Del Piero or Nesta Buffon
@@Michele-tp7mx, Cassano ha la stoira più bella
Baggio pls
Liverpool supporter here , Roma is my 2nd team , love the city and the passion and culture of the people and Totti what a player
Love to hear that man !
Roma lfc barca for me
Absolutely love the vibe of this, the chat, the restaurant, the people involved. Everything. It literally feels like im on holiday with them
This interview and the Chiellini one are absolutely fantastic. More of these please!!
42 minutes later, what a top guy Daniele De Rossi is.
One of the most underrated players of his generation 🙌🏻 what a man
I don't think he was ever underrated. He chose to stay in Rome but if he wanted to he could have played anywhere he would have liked in Europe.
I think everyone agrees hes on of the best midfielders of his generation. Hardly underrated.
@diegomattia4806 staying at Roma had nothing to do with it. If anything, overly loyal players usually get overrated. He rarely gets mentioned in any conversations about the best this or the best that of his era. I'd say he was criminally underrated

I couldn't agree more.
A midfield of Rossi and Keane would of been dangerous! Notice all the top players mention they wanted United. When you're big, you're big!
All the retired top players. United were big when they were growing up. Todays top players have no interest😁
probably cause they grew up watching Ferguson's united. Same when i meet people of my age (around 30) outside italy they all love AC Milan cause it was the best when they were growing up
Not any more though
Keane will certainly give his seal of approval for De Rossi to be his successor.
grammar is important...
WANTED past tense (correct, well done)... When you're big, you're big! (incorrect) when you WERE big, you WERE big (simply past)......😁
Unlucky for some 13th lol
I'm just so happy to see Italian legends. I have so many memories of Serie A in the 80's till 00's

They should go to the Monumental to see a real passionate fanbase
The most beautiful interview I’ve ever watched. Daniele De Rossi.. what a character!
Interviews like this one always show the great compatibility between British and Italian people.
What an amazing character he is, he might not fill the boots of great Francesco Totti, but he was an underappreciated player like Michael Carrick... hats off to you Mr. De Rossi...
Absolutely love to hear Carrick getting his flowers. Completely outstanding footballer. Should have been used a lot more by England earlier in his career, he was exactly what we needed at the time.
Chill dude, he was briefly mentioned by De Rossi, mostly out of courtesy.
Still true though. Most underrated player.
Wud take De Rossi all day! Carrick was lucky he had the back 5 he had behind him, as soon as that fell apart people could finally see how bad he was defencively.
The fact that he mentioned Carrick, albeit briefly, when there was no need to at all, actually speaks volumes about the ability of Michael Carrick and of course what a great guy De Rossi is.
Owner of my favourite goal scored at Old Trafford.
Yeah ,we were 6 nil up at the time ,but our crowd applauded his skill and technique.
I was there. Amazing experience. Best goal of the night as well
I think the crowd were applauding ironically but it was a great goal
27:58 Keane's eyes lit up when he heard about Boca Juniors 💯
Boca te ama Daniele! 💙💛💙
He's 300% ready for managing an English team
I can't see issues with communication that's for sure!
Great interview. Would be love to see more Italian legends. So far they have been the most entertaining.
And many of them speak English, see Maldini, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Del Piero, Vieri, Gattuso
Grew up watching Football Italia at the weekend. Always loved serie a. Really enjoying these interviews with some greats!
Campianato....DiCalcio....Italianooooo!!!
I can still hear the theme song now!!
I think most football fans don’t understand.
This is the most underrated midfielder in the world. And for me one of the best
He could do everything, defense, offense, pass, shoot left right, good technique (not Zidane of course but better than most 6,8 ) head, long pass, leader, fighter, strong…
Loyalty he stayed at Roma : fantastic but we would have loved to see what would have happened if he went to Madrid like his friend Totti.
And he’s one of the few that said no to these big clubs, and not always you have a choice or the level to play there.
De Rossi is also the most prolific midfielder in Italian National Team history (21 goals). He was a truly complete player
Totti never went to Madrid though. Unless my memory has completely gone. 😂
Or did you mean to say Cassano?
@@winningbigly6666 he meant to say like Totti he rejected Madrid
Not sure if he speaks English but Totti would be cool to see. One of the more underrated players of all-time
Not a chance. He barely speaks Italian
@@oliverjensen223 😂
@@oliverjensen223This is so true 😂
Totti underrated?? 😂😂
aooo😂
De Rossi + Roy Keane for GLADIATOR III
That penalty was absolutely cracking, and it was vital after France had just missed. He was such an assured player
I stayed in Boca , BA fir 3 months in 99. And went to every home game. Incredible.
This was during the corralito.
crazy enjoyable evocative times.....
You guys need to Interview Paolo Maldini. Now thats one episode I'd look forward to.
The funniest thing in this episode is Gary struggling to pick up the long spaghetti with the fork
This makes my Monday morning just that little bit better 😊
Just started watching and very excited. He was one of my favourite players in an era when the midfield general had kind of faded. Keane, gattuso, makelele etc had all kind of gone. De rossi (maybe also nigel de jong) was the one standout one still entering his peak and I think he would have been good in england.
I love the "no wine during an interview" , classic Roman ❤
Excellent....!!! What a player's!!! Talking about world football,... eating and drinking together ...!!! Good job boys !! Mio cuore e gallorossio !!! Forza grande ROMA !!!
I love De Rossi character! Like a true warrior. So humble
I’d love an episode with Del Piero
Great Italian content, Love to see them interview Baggio . It will be marvellous episode , final of world cup, Fiorentina and Juve plus match against Keane in World Cup 94
Roma are very lucky to have players like Totti and De Rossi. Players with high ability yet very loyal 👑
What an unsung legend in football history.
De Rossi is so holding himself back looking at carra and neville rolling their forks 😂😂😂😂😂
"Miren miren qué locura/ miren miren qué emoción/ ese es el famoso "tano"/ que vino a La Boca para ser campeón".
Muchas gracias Daniele!! Aguante Boca Juniors!!🇦🇷🇮🇹🇸🇪
Every single episode I’m blown away by Cara’s knowledge of football history. That Lazio fact was insane
What was the timestamp for the Lazio fact - I must have missed it!
25:30 remembering that Lazio won the cup winners cup in Villa Park
@@Someguy2023now The last ever Cup Winners' Cup final. Nedved got the winner.
I really miss that competition. Shame it had to be scrapped.
25:18 "N*zio". Just when I though I couldn't like him more. Legend.
Fantastic interview 👌🏻Maldini please
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Roma. De Rossi and Totti are two of my favorite players of all time.
Great interview that! Always liked Roma mainly cos of their kits I used to buy 😂 Quality player and comes across quite humble. Rides round Rome in a scooter lol
Alessandro Del Piero speaks english, he should be next! He even owns a pizza restaurant out here in LOS ANGELES,CA
They are going to the US for the next series, hopefully Del Piero is a guest.
Tano querido 💙💛💙
The line about memories fading hit me right in the feels.
Brilliant guest. Love it
Love you Di Rossi, Roma icon
One of the best midfielders ever
dear god did I love this interview ... DeRossi is really good in this ... huge respect shown to each of them ... love it!!
What a footballer & what a man
Wow, hearing him mention Eddie Howe as one of the best in England was great.
the more you watch the Overlap, the better it gets - I love the mix of personalities
This video, like the Chiellini one, are SO great. Kudos to the producers!
It stuns me how many Italians speak English nowadays, back in the day this was unthinkable.
What a humble guy and an awesome human being , great player too ! Respect!!!
Always liked and admired DeRossi. Underrated legend. Such a solid player gave 100% heart and physicality every game.
The prince of Rome❤❤
De Rossi was a beast the tatoo on his leg told you everything you need to know 😂
Roy Keane's face when De Rossi talks about Boca Juniors
absolutely loved this and the Chiellini interview, need more Italian players on
Thank you for this. People dont get it how good De Rossi was. Great video for us, Roma fans.
Questo e Bocaaa!!! 💙✊💙
This guy always struck me as a gladiator both the look and his application on the pitch.
Carragher’s memory for random football games is unbelievable
I like the fact that he's so simple and still so excited about all things football
Brilliant stuff, super humble guy. Good relaxing vibe between the boys
Elite ep. Overlap never miss 🎯
I'm Italian and I didn't know about this tv program. I've enjoyed the style of the interview, very entertaining.
De Rossi was one of my Fav players . he would have been fantastic playing next to Carrick at Utd
GRANDE DANIELE❤️💛🐺 FORZA ROMA SEMPRE
Still waiting for an episode with Gianfranco Zola
Class act him tbf
A chelsea player? Yeah right
@@dnbtit what’s wrong with that ??? already had lampard on so good one mate 👍

Oh matron!
39:58 - DeRossi with an excellent impression of Roy's Irish accent, "Nao, it wuznt ahlott"😂
Great interview, both him and Chiellini were really good to listen to.
Keep up the good work lads 👍🏻

De Rossi was a Roman General , what a player, but what a guy!
Alot of people dont know how networking works. You reach out to connections which is often people you know, and so on
What an absolutely wonderful player De Rossi was. A true Roman warrior. Prince of Rome!
The Great Paolo Maldini next please!
Loving this tour hearing from all these legends.
Great episode guys. Riveting listening! Best football podcast by miles on TH-cam !! 👏👏👏👏⚽⚽👍👍👍😄😄😄
That goal he scored in the 7-1 champions league game... 😮 still gives me chills. What an incredible player. That was a real golden era for italian midfielders
Absolutely brilliant episode,fascinating insight from Daniel De Rossi loved every minute of his interview brilliant
Get Del Piero on next!! These interviews with Italian players are immense 👌🏽
Fascinating insights De Rossi and Chiellini enjoyed both the shows.
