From our correspondent Filippo Maria Ricci

– Madrid

“For Mou every game is a final, we are equal”. This is the title of the interview granted by Paulo Dybala to Marca to present Roma-Real Sociedad, the Roma player’s first interview since he became world champion. An interview full of things. Here are some.

WORLD CHAMPION

—

“It’s not like you get up in the morning and tell yourself ‘I’m world champion’, but for a footballer to have experienced something like this is something unique and magnificent”.

ROME AND THE SECOND YOUTH

—

“Yes, everyone welcomed me in an incredible way, the passion there is in this city is incredible, we always play with a full stadium and it’s a very large stadium. They made me feel at home from day one and it helped me give my best to try and take Roma as high as possible.”

DYBALA-ADDICTION

—

“Ninth. It’s not just about one player, for me to have good numbers I need the whole team, we’re a united group fighting for the same dream.”

MOURINHO

—

“We have great communication to confront, think and talk to each other. Mou helps us a lot because it makes the games easier for us. Before signing I spoke to him, and I liked his way of communicating and being. That call convinced me to come to Rome. I had the chance to play with the best in the world and now I have the chance to be with one of the best coaches. He attracted me, he is a winner. His way of being, his character helps you ask yourself questions and face each workout as if it were a match. He sees every game as a final, no matter the rival, he lives every moment in a unique way and I feel very identified with this way of thinking, because I see things like this too. In this we are very similar and we help each other”.

REAL SOCIETY

—

“We are in a very similar situation, we are fighting for the top positions in the league and now in the Europa League. Both teams have important players who can make the difference, anyone can pass, let’s hope it’s our turn.”

THE FUTURE

—

“We’ll talk about that later. My future is here, to take Roma to the top level, and I believe it can be done. Then what will happen I don’t know, the most important thing is the games we have to play now.”

EUROPE LEAGUE

—

“Winning it would be incredible, I am thinking of the city… it would explode as happened in Buenos Aires for the World Cup. The fans deserve it, let’s hope we can give them this joy.”
