De Rossi: 'Sort out Roma stadium'

By Football Italia staff

Daniele De Rossi urges Roma fans to return to Stadio Olimpico - "the beating heart is missing from this team".

The Ultras continue to boycott the Curva Sud in protest over segregation, and the 33-year-old has urged the Giallorossi to find a solution.

"The atmosphere around Roma is overestimated," De Rossi told Mediaset.

"Until a few years ago I was listening to the radio and reading newspapers. Not now, all we have to detach from this. In Rome, life is good, it's sunny, we are appreciated."

"The beating heart is missing from this team: we must do more for the fans, they must return to the stadium. They are right, something must be done because they need to come back, or as [CEO Mauro] Baldissoni said, we have to go and play somewhere else.

"I look back with nostalgia on when there were 60,000 at the stadium, we need them. It's not the same without the Curva Sud, but that shouldn't be an excuse.

"We can win even so."
