Roma released video of new coach Daniele De Rossi meeting his players with a hug and a joke, mocking Romelu Lukaku and Rasmus Kristensen.
The former midfielder is no stranger to the Trigoria training ground and many of the players in the current squad, including Lorenzo Pellegrini.
He faced others as an opponent, such as Lukaku, and when they were getting changed together De Rossi had a fundamental question to ask.
“Were you always that big? Seriously? Maybe I got smaller…”
De Rossi also urged Rick Karsdorp and Kristensen to hurry up and learn Italian as soon as possible.
