Roma defender Mats Hummels recently made his debut for the Giallorossi in the unfortunate circumstances of the 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina.
Despite this terrible night saw him score an on own goal, Hummels remained optimistic in his interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport during last night’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
“I’m happy to have finally made my debut; I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. I’ve been hoping for a while to be able to play in Serie A.”
“Obviously, this feeling contrasts with the sadness for the defeat in Florence and how it happened. We’re not satisfied with the current results, but the team is strong and, in a few weeks, things can only get better.”
“The fans expect the team to play better and they are right. I like everything here: the club, the atmosphere in the stadium and the love of the people. Now we just have to improve and do it as soon as possible.”
