Roma defender Chris Smalling discussed his time at the club as well as his rapport with Jose Mourinho and the fanbase.

In an interview with Starcasino Sport, Smalling said, “Roma fans are very special. There are not many teams in Italy with a stadium always sold out in every game, regardless of whether the opponent is at the top or bottom of the table.”

“The stadium is always full, and it’s amazing to have such a following.”

“My relationship with Mourinho is excellent. I had the chance to play and win with him in England and now I have the chance to do it in Italy.”

“He won everything and wants to keep winning, he’s not someone who settles for a trophy and that’s the mentality we need here.”
