In the 6th round of Serie A last night, Roma defeated Fiorentina 2-1 away. After the game, Roma player Baldanzi was interviewed.
This is your first start for Roma this season, and coach Gasperini said you were asked to start because you performed well in training. Do you feel the importance of yourself in the team?
Yes, I feel the importance of myself, just like all the players. We have a lot of games so everyone gets the chance to play. I'm so glad that it's very important to me, I've been training hard to improve myself and I feel good. I know the opportunity is coming and I am very happy. Today's game was very difficult, we paid a lot and tried our best as usual. We managed to win a difficult away game, so we were all very happy.
After Rome's new coach Gasperini took office, did you work with him smoothly?
I feel very good, and the coach asks me to play a role on both offense and defense, and to participate in confrontation and defense. Facing such a team with strong offensive capabilities, we all have to make a lot of sacrifices. This is normal and necessary because we are all excellent players. It is right and good to do so, and we will be rewarded for it. The current rankings are in our favor, but we must continue to work hard and do our best to maintain this momentum.
Do you know you are very strong?
We know we are a good team and we all devote ourselves to it. The coach told us that no matter who appears, we must give our all. We work hard every day and we have to get stronger because other teams are also very strong.
Did you talk about the team's goals in the locker room?
To be honest, we don't talk about this topic often. We know that the rankings in the current stage are not that important. The most important thing is that you can still maintain a high ranking until the end, rather than the current ranking. Of course, it is also good to be ranked high at the moment, but we still need to continue to work hard and improve to ensure that we can still maintain this ranking in the end, which is undoubtedly the most difficult part.
At the last moment of this summer's transfer period, you almost left Rome
A lot of things happened, and I've talked to the sports director. Although it was a bit regretful for me to train alone on Thursday, I knew the opportunity was coming and I was very happy now.
