Massara on Pellegrini’s integration: “He’ll be important for us.” | OneFootball

Roma sporting director Frederic Massara spoke to DAZN about the club’s transfer business ahead of kick-off against Torino.

“We knew it was going to be a complicated transfer market, but the fact that we’ve retained last year’s backbone is positive; we’ve begun a process of renewal. We knew we couldn’t do everything in one session; we’ll see what the pitch tells us.”

“As the coach said, daily work is what counts now. He’s bringing a new mentality, and we’ve seen some great things in the first few games.”

“Pellegrini? Football is so dynamic. We had a shared understanding with Pellegrini, we know we have another strong player who will make a huge contribution to us.”

“Sancho? There was a lot of talk about it; it was a possibility, but then there weren’t the reasons to close it. Today, in terms of comparison, it’s difficult to find anyone better than who was there last year. We’re confident we can do well.”
