Pisilli: “I don’t see why I should leave Roma.” | OneFootball

Niccolò Pisilli’s Italy team continues preparations at Coverciano ahead of Sunday’s friendly against Greece.

The Roma midfielder, born in 2004, spoke at a press conference from the Azzurri’s training camp.

The 2004-born player addressed several topics, starting with the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup.

His words: “What happened is clear for all to see; it was a huge disappointment. We all wanted to play in the World Cup. On the pitch, we gave everything we had, but then a series of incidents and circumstances affected the match. The team, however, was 100% focused on the objective.”

And regarding the future, he said: “The next step is Greece; I’m not thinking about the rest. Then I’ll rest and be 100% focused on restarting next season. As everyone knows, I have a special bond with Roma, with the team, and with the fans; everyone knows that. I don’t understand why I should leave Roma.”

Pisilli also spoke about his growth thanks to Gian Piero Gasperini: “This year has been special for me. I didn’t have much playing time at the start, but I always tried to train well and follow Coach Gasperini’s instructions. Then, in December, I had a few opportunities and I was good at taking advantage of them. I found consistency, the team started getting results, and then the season ended on a high note.”
