De Rossi is moved by Carlos Tévez: “I can’t wait to see you direct” | VIDEO

They were rivals in Italy for two seasons, but fate brought them together years later. One, with a past in Juventus; and the other, in Rome, Carlos Tévez and Daniele De Rossi met at Boca Juniors in the second half of 2019. During that period, they made a great friendship, which remains to this day.

On the day of the official presentation of the ‘Apache’ as the new coach of Rosario Central, the Italian sent the Argentine an emotional message, to express his good wishes now that he begins his first experience on the bench.

“Hello, old man. A guy from Rosario Central contacted me. He asked me for a video for you, because you are starting your new stage as technical director and I answered that it was impossible. Two weeks ago you said goodbye to football… it was not possible for you to start as DT “De Rossi said in a clip broadcast by Rosario Central, the same one that Tévez saw.

“You are used to surprising us all, with your magic that you did on the pitch, playing against or playing together. And well, you continue to do it as a human being off the field and now you are going to do it as a technical director “added the world champion in Germany 2006.

De Rossi continued to express his emotion for the challenge that his great friend took on and recalled that he played his last game as a professional at Gigante de Arroyito, home of Rosario Central.

“I don’t forget the pitch where I played my last game as a footballer. It was hot, very beautiful and I can’t wait to see you on the bench, directing your players and seeing you set the atmosphere on fire on that court. I send you a big hug. I always bank you”he concluded.

After listening carefully to De Rossi, Tévez replied: “He is a great, a great with all the words, it makes me very happy that he greeted me.”
