Donyell Malen is a fan favorite, and after scoring a brace against Real Madrid, he seems unstoppable.
He’ll be forced to postpone his goal-scoring campaign against Genoa due to suspension, but he’ll return to the pitch next week with his usual hunger for goals.
The Giallorossi number 14 spoke to “Il Corriere dello Sport.”
Dybalen or Dymalen, the Dutch striker spoke about the duo with Paulo Dybala: “There’s a connection, it’s funny, I saw it online. We have a football bond; football doesn’t need the same language. From the first training session, we got along well; both I’m good at moving and he’s good at passing the ball to me at the right time. We’re trying to make the game exciting.”
Then the striker focused on the reasons why he started scoring nonstop in the capital: “There’s a bit of everything. I’m in the right place with the right people. I’ve played a lot of football in my career, and here I get trust from everyone, from the coach and my teammates. All of this creates something that pushes you to give your all. Everyone helps me.”
Regarding his departure from Aston Villa, ‘Bobby’ said: “I was the one who wanted to leave Aston Villa. I wanted to play every Sunday; that’s important. I think I made the right choice.”
The 1999-born player focused on his ability to manage certain passes: “I don’t clean up dirty balls. I try to help my teammates by being in the right place, where I can help them.”
He then spoke about the environment he finds himself in: “What struck me about Roma was the fans and my teammates. We all have the ambition to lead the club to success; that touched me deeply. It’s a great club with extraordinary people.”

Regarding the best moments of this start to the season, the Dutch striker said they are yet to come: “I scored a hat-trick in my first match, I think we’re very strong. We narrowly missed the win against Inter, I think we can achieve something great.”
Regarding Gasperini’s training sessions, ‘Bobby’ had this to say: “Gasperini’s training sessions are difficult, but I’ve never vomited. That’s why I learned ‘tired’, I have to say. Sometimes it’s really too much, it’s a tough training session. However, it’s good for the team, we’re all in good shape. We push ourselves, we train the way we play.”
And regarding his position on the pitch, he confirmed that he prefers to play as a centre-forward: “For me, it’s a middle ground, I feel more comfortable and more dangerous in the middle, and it shows here.”
