Some fans complain that AS Roma coach De Rossi's style of managing matches with his "hands in his pockets" appears indifferent. Luigi Garlando, senior columnist for La Gazzetta dello Sport, believes every coach has their own style, and standing on the sideline doesn't necessarily mean you have to shout.

Some coaches gesticulate constantly like Guardiola, others flail their jackets wildly like Allegri, and some shout loudly like Gasperini. Every coach has their own way, and De Rossi has his own style.

A reader named Giorgio wrote to me saying: "Use your sense of humor to tell De Rossi that watching the match with his hands in his pockets is unbearable."

I relayed this to De Rossi, but I disagree. Everyone has their own style.

Amorim likes to crouch while watching the match, like a fisherman watching a buoy. For Guardiola, the technical area is a stage: he gesticulates constantly like a mime performing a monologue. For Allegri, the technical area is like a discus thrower's circle: jackets get thrown. And Conte, Gasperini, and Mourinho turn the technical area into a "roaring room" that recalls an old trading floor.

Yet many who imitate them and shout from the sideline only do so for attention. Ancelotti and Liedholm won many honors and never needed to do this.

De Rossi, meanwhile, paces back and forth with his hands in his pockets, like a teacher walking among student desks during an exam: "I've taught you all I can; now it's up to you."

Such a posture conveys a sense of calm: "Guys, anyway, it's just a game."

Is the real problem simply having your hands in your pockets? De Rossi himself knows this well: "In Ferrara, they said I looked like an idiot, just for this."

Speaking of hands in pockets, no image is more iconic than James Dean's: smoking a cigarette, collar raised, hands in pockets, standing in Times Square. It was a rebellious stance.

The Irish once kept their hands in their pockets as a protest against British monarchy. Among the many unconventional habits of "the Lawyer" (Agnelli), putting his hands in his pockets was one.

Giorgio Armani, to highlight the revolutionary informality his fabrics brought, also walked fashion runways with his hands in his pockets.

Putting your hands in your pockets can also convey messages, express defiance, and hold symbolic meaning; it's not just about appearing carefree.

In any case, what matters most is not where De Rossi puts his hands; what matters is that AS Roma is now in good hands.

Tomorrow, De Rossi will face Fabregas. The latter once stopped an opponent using his hands on the pitch.

It's better to keep your hands in your pockets.
