00:43 It's one of those, not just important days for the season,
00:46 I think it's a very, very significant day in the history of our football club.
00:51 I needed to be in a place where I felt right.
00:57 I want to develop, I want to become one of the best.

01:31 It was time now for Rom to go.

01:55 The dream is reality now, so now I have to prove on the pitch now.
01:58 At the end of the day, now I'm here.
02:02 It's time to get to work and let my performance do the talking.
02:07 The dream is reality now.

02:55 You can criticise a player, but for me it felt a little bit strange.
03:00 It was a little bit too much.
03:02 For me, he's one of the best strikers in the world and he knows that, he feels that.
03:06 Obviously, if he makes it, it's good.
03:10 But it's not in the dreams of the fans, at least not in mine in particular.

03:32 When I was 11, I wanted to work with the coach.
03:37 Now, I can say that for the third time I can work with him.
03:42 He knows me well.
