Klopp, Simeone, De Rossi: When a bench overflows with passion...
We expected nothing less from Daniele De Rossi on his debut on the Roma bench. A few days ago, we also saw Simeone running to celebrate. Klopp constantly gives occasions for the director to give the world his reactions. These are three coaches who, with their passion, give something different to football...

Roma sacked Jose Mourinho and gave Daniele De Rossi the huge opportunity, even if it is only for six months, to find himself in the technical leadership of his beloved team.
He was a child when he first put on the shirt to start playing football in the club's academies. And he grew, matured, learned, suffered and shaped every last aspect of his character in the ranks of the "Giallorossi".
Now, he's back in a suit, but the passion can't be taken away from him. He also showed it in the way he celebrated Verona's missed penalty in Saturday's match, with his fierce facial expression, the veins in his neck and his clenched fists, to be... typical DDR.
Diego Simeone, for his part, rejoiced so intensely after a long time, a Madrid derby. He saw his Atlético players score four times against Real in the Copa del Rey a few days after the Super Cup semi-final defeat, and the revenge he took on the Merengues was sweetening his heart. So much so, that he started to resemble...Mourinho and run down the touchline, hugging anyone in front of him.
Jurgen Klopp, especially for those of us who love England and the Premier League, needs no special reference in terms of passion and the way he lives every moment at Anfield. His celebrations, the moments of tension, the hugs, the instructions, the bonding with the crowd and the Kop ritual after every win. Everything shows his passion. And the Premier is lucky to have him...
