Daniele De Rossi holds no grudges against Miralem Pjanic for leaving Roma for Juventus: 'He was an exemplary professional'.
The Bosnian departed for Turin in a sudden transfer move that was traumatic for all Giallorossi supporters, and which was finally made official yesterday..
“Pjanic behaved as an exemplary teammate and an impeccable professional ever since he came to Roma,” he told Il Messaggero. “He used to train even when he was ill and he often played with pain-killers.
“I'm sorry that he went to reinforce a rival, but I'll always be fond of him. Pjanic is not an icon, if he had been, he'd have stayed in Lyon. It's other players who are our icons.
“This is what football is like nowadays and Roma remain a supreme good nevertheless.
“His sale wasn't the club's responsibility. The clause was activated. I don't think [Radja] Nainggolan will be sold too, but let's not talk about Roma's market, I'm here for the Euros.
“The fans are angry? People can do what they like.”
