Del Vecchio was the hero of Roma's victory in 2001, although he only scored 3 goals in the championship season, Del Vecchio's tactical role is very large, he attracts a lot of defensive attention to Barty and Totti, creating space for his teammates to shoot. Del Vecchio squeezed out Montella and became capable of becoming capello's starting striker.
In an interview, Del Vecchio envisioned Roma's goals for the new season. 'I think Roma's goal this year should be to compete for the top four in Serie A. Regarding the comparison between Dybala and Batistuta, del Vecchio: "Maybe the two players are signed in a similar way, but in terms of personal characteristics, Dybala and Barty are two completely different types of players. ”
"Dybala's style is more similar to Montella's, Batistuta is not the signing that Roma decided to sign that season, and the arrival of one person is not enough to win the title. Don't forget that Roma also came at that time, emerson, Samuel, and lupatelli, Zebina, Gigu and other good players. Del Vecchio said.
Del Vecchio also expressed hope Mourinho would follow in Capello's footsteps as Capello won the Serie A title in his second year in charge of Roma, while Mourinho is entering his second season at Roma. "This charismatic, winning coach always has something in common, but it has to give them time. We didn't win the title in the first season under Capello, but Jose Mourinho won the European championship in his first season in charge of Roma. Capello is a wins guarantee, and so is Mourinho. ”
