Romanisti: Breathe Easy

The reason why I'll only shave once every three-four weeks.

Daniele De Rossi has re-signed with Roma for another five years. The marauding midfielder put pen to paper sometime before Roma's match against Inter on Sunday, but made the news public following the game. Finally, we Roma followers can breathe easy.

It has been tough watching Roma over the past few games without De Rossi (due to injury). The midfield was simply lost without him. His return on Sunday showed how badly we needed him. He commanded the middle of the park and controlled the flow of play with ease. In turn, Inter was dominated. We demolished a top-tier team on Sunday, one week after getting smacked by Cagliari. This feat was achieved largely because of De Rossi's return to the starting XI.

The urgency to have this player in our midfield for years to come was clear. And now we have him! Not to mention De Rossi is at the top of his game this year! Here's to a successful renewal! Sorry Manchester teams and Real Madrid. Cheers to Daniele De Rossi and Roma!
