Roma coach Daniele de Rossi has plenty of admiration for Max Allegri.

Roma meet Allegri's Juventus this weekend.

“He faces us with respect, he has made the history of Italian football and continues to lead the team at high levels," said De Rossi. I feel sympathy for him because he played with my father. Results-based or system-based is a concept that doesn't exist.

“I won't even comment on it. Mourinho, Ancelotti, Allegri coach at a high level. Juve are a team that hasn't had a very good period, but we are aware that they want to put the pin in the Champions League issue.

“We need another exceptional performance and the fans who must continue to do so push as they always have."
