Daniele: “I am deeply sorry.”
By: Sam | April 10th, 2008
De Rossi has apologized for his early penalty miss that could have turned momentum yesterday at Old Trafford in Roma’s favor.
“I wanted to take the penalty as I did on Sunday against Genoa,” he said. “It was a highly-charged moment and probably I had too much time to think before taking it. I’ve scored penalties in important games like the World Cup final during my career but tonight I was less fortunate. I’m deeply sorry. I hoped that this would not have happened to me, especially tonight in a special game like this.”
De Rossi added…
“It was not a penalty to make it 2-0 in the last minute, but still I think the game would have changed if I had scored. I’m very disappointed and I think it hurts twice as much because I’m from Rome and a Roma supporter. We came to Manchester confident and ready to fight. The first goal was there, eleven meters away from me, but we all know what happened. It would have been a different match if we had taken the lead in the first half.”

Poor Dani. Hopefully he can come back all guns blazing though, and Roma can catch Inter in Serie A. At least enough to make it a really tight run in.
He looked put off by Van Der Saar as much as anything -VdS always does that thing where he kind of fills the goal before a pen, and De Rossi usually goes for a top corner.
