Why did you choose Roma?

Was it the right choice?
Yes, every day that passes I am more convinced that I have made the right choice.
How do you deal with Genoa?

Is there a teammate you’re particularly close to?
I’ve been here for a month and I get on with everyone, in fact, I’m well connected with my teammates. I speak a little more with Veretout.
Where can Roma go?
