It's always lively when Daniele De Rossi is around. This season alone the Roma captain has been caught by the VAR slapping Genoa striker Gianluca Lapadula, embodied the mood of the nation by yelling passionately at a coach during a World Cup qualifier and scored a spectacular own goal in Barcelona.
He's never been dull. At the 2006 World Cup in Germany he staged his own 'zero to hero' story. The midfielder was sent off in a group match against the USA for elbowing Brian McBride in the face, before returning from his ban to score a penalty in the final and becoming a world champion.
