Serie A: You were stupid – Roma coach slams Lukaku, Parades after Cagliari win

Roma manager, Daniele De Rossi, has hit out at Romelu Lukaku and Leandro Paredes for being “stupid” during their 4-0 win over Cagliari on Monday.

It was the Serie A club’s third consecutive victory under De Rossi, who replaced Jose Mourinho.

Paulo Dybala scored twice while there was a goal each from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Dean Huijsen.

Despite the impressive win, De Rossi was unhappy with the on-field behaviour of Lukaku and Paredes.

Lukaku had a face-off with Yerry Mina in the first half, while Parades picked up a yellow card after a scuffle with Nahitan Nandez.

Speaking to reporters after the game, De Rossi said: “Look, I like it when players try to defend their teammates, but when leading 4-0 they need to be intelligent.

“We need to clamp down on this sort of behaviour because getting booked when you are 4-0 up is truly stupid. We cannot afford to lose any of these players.”
