Football is so dynamic that situations evolve very rapidly,” stated Roma’s Sports Director, Ricky Massara, to DAZN ahead of the match against Torino. “There was a mutual understanding with [Lorenzo] Pellegrini to evaluate other options during the transfer window, but now both he and we are focused on the pitch. We know we have an extra strong player, a player who cares deeply about Roma and who will give us a great contribution—we are sure of it.”
Speaking on the team’s development, Massara added, “Each week, the coach adds another piece to the squad. As the manager rightly said, the daily work is what counts now. It seems a bit premature to focus on objectives; we must work and grow. There are many changes in the team. There is a new mentality that the coach is instilling. We have already seen some excellent things in the first matches, but we continue to work and move forward.”
