A SERIOUS INJURY HAS CAUSED DANIELE DE ROSSI TO REFLECT ON HIS CAREER, WHICH HE KNOWS IS ABOUT TO END.

It's a worn clique that you have to look far behind the issues of modern football. In Rome, they can do something special in that area. Last year, the club had to say goodbye to Francesco Totti, who had represented the club for 25 years. The legacy was carried on by Daniele De Rossi, who has played for the club since the promotion to the first team in 2002. His time for the club is also coming soon and his current injury has made him reflect on his long career.

"When I was young I would have signed in any way to just play half of the matches I've played today. I'm a lucky guy. I've been working on something I love, in a city I love, with people I love. I know that the end is close, especially with this injury, De Rossi said according to football-italia.net. Daniel De Rossi suffered a knee injury in October, and probably holds him out of Saturday's clash against Juventus. "I know what it means to be away from the squad, and I know it will hurt me when I stop. Whether it's six months, a year or three years, time is running out of my career. This is the most serious injury in my career.

De Rossi has played 11 matches so far this season, and AS Roma are currently in the seventh position in the league with 24 points accumulated.
