The Bologna defender, who grew up in the Giallorossi, in a press conference from Coverciano: “I played with Mourinho, I wanted more. There were people who said I had to stop after the injury. I was almost forced to go to Basel”
Surprise and regret at the same time, as Daniele also underlined De Rossi. Richard Calafiori it was this and more in the season just concluded A league, which is continuing with the European Championships. The defender of Bologna spoke at a press conference from Coverciano, also retracing the stages of his career from the youth team Rome:“As compared to Basel, first of all they are improved especially on a mental level, there would be many things to list. However, I made sure to always behave in the same way. At the start of Basel I wasn’t convinced, but they were the only team left and I was almost forced to go. However, I changed my mind from day one, I played a lot and for the first time I made more than 30 appearances. Rome? I shouldn’t sneer at anyone. At the start I played with Mourinho, but I wanted more and I went to the Genoa. It didn’t go well there and at Roma the prices of other players in my role increased. But that’s okay, it’s normal for this to happen. Return? In any case I have a good relationship with the players who are here, I still had a good time at Roma.”
Calafiori then recalls the serious injury: “Six years have passed, There was someone who told me I had to stopwithout naming names, but my reaction has always been: “it can’t be true”, it never entered my head to abandon football. I want to remember MinoRaiola who helped me, advised me to have the operation in Pittsburgh where Ibra had had the operation, I listened to him and it went well.” Then on the future: “I don’t think about it now. We are in National, I would like to enjoy this first call-up, I will do my best to go to the European Championship. I would like to focus on this. I’m very happy with everything that’s happening, it’s a huge satisfaction to be here, a dream come true.”
