Roma acting gig + DDR/Pirlo Interview [Videos]
AS Roma [yes, the entire team] had a guest cameo on popular Italian TV series, "I Cesaroni." The Giallorossi were split into two teams, and the protagonist of the show had to play against Totti's team. Daniele De Rossi scored a ~scripted~ goal [boy can't act LOL ♥], while the protagonist scored a rigore for the winner, albeit his peeps had to beg Gianluca Curci [Roma's vice-Doni] not to make the save, so his team emerges victorious.
Fast forward to the 5th minute mark for the ~scripted game~

What is the first thing that springs to mind when I say Roma-Milan?
De Rossi: I think of matches against the best and most prestigious team in Italy. I particularly remember a game that finished 3-0 when I was a ball boy: Sebastiano Rossi went mad because we were taking our time to give him the ball."
Pirlo: "I think of great games and I hope this one will be too.
***
"What do you think of when I say Rossi/Pirlo?
De Rossi: "A friend, Azzurri team-mate and a good person. The best playmaker in the world over the last six or seven years."
Pirlo: "Of the great memories of playing international football together."
Tell us about your friendship
De Rossi: "We met during the initial get-together before the Olympic Games and hit it off straight away. We have even been on holiday together."
Pirlo: "We even became room-mates when on international duty after Nesta retired. We have a great relationship."
***
Good and bad points
De Rossi: "The good thing about Andrea is that he doesn't go looking for the spotlight: he doesn't always feel he has to say something clever, like so many other people do. His flaw is that some people think he's a sulker, which isn't true at all. He was very supportive when I was sent off during the World Cup."
Pirlo: "He's great, he makes me laugh. I haven't found any bad points yet. Perhaps that he is too good a player..." ♥♥
***
Who makes the biggest contribution to the team in terms of league points, De Rossi or Pirlo?
De Rossi: "Pirlo brings Milan more points than I do for Roma."
Pirlo: "I think we are both important and make significant contributions."
***
You both appear in advertisements...
De Rossi: "As an actor I'd give Pirlo 7.5 or 8; his foul temper was very convincing..." [HE WOULD KNOW!!! :p]
Pirlo: "De Rossi is a good actor, I'd have to give him an 8." [You are far too kind, Drea.]
***
Roma-Milan, win or lose?
De Rossi: "Tell Andrea to lose: we might even be able to take the championship off Inter..."
Pirlo: "I'd prefer to win and see Milan finish ahead of Fiorentina."
***
Roma-Milan, how will it turn out?
De Rossi: "We'll win this one: we did it at their place and we can do it again."
Pirlo: "The three points are vital for us."
***
You're sitting in a bar with Materazzi: who buys the drinks?
De Rossi: "Pirlo, he's the richest."
Pirlo: "The barman..."
I say let Matrix buy the drinks :P
And for good time's sake:
^Good actors ♥
