You never forget your first interview as a Roma player. Evan Ndicka introduced himself to his new fans directly from his retreat in Albufeira: “Roma is a great team, last year they came close to winning in Europe and have every chance to do well in the league and in the Europa League,” he told Dazn. So it didn’t take much to convince the Ivorian, who arrived on a free transfer after releasing himself from Eintracht Frankfurt: «I knew the Italian championship well and the players who are part of the team, I often watched the games. So when they contacted me it was a pleasure to accept Roma’s offer».

The Giallorossi coach, José Mourinho, obviously played a fundamental role: «He immediately gave me the impression of being a good person, very empathetic and I’m sure he will make me grow a lot.
Even Paulo (Dybala, ed) as well as being a great footballer is an excellent person. We exchanged a few words in these first few days and from what I could see he really has a very high technique in touching the ball. He is a great player ».
Bove, growth and determination
Edoardo Bove also spoke from the Portuguese retreat, a young midfielder who carved out an important space for himself in the second half of last season and who is destined to find even more space in the next one: «I have come to an awareness of my means – he told Dazn – I had the opportunity to carve out more space for myself and this gave me confidence. I’m leaving with maximum energy hoping to do well, play as many games as possible and do it to the best of my qualities. I would like to grow as a player during training and during matches»
Mourinho was fundamental to his growth: «I was lucky enough to start from the top. The coach is one of the best technicians in the world. We have a lot of empathy and it’s a relationship that I believe has matured over the years and I hope it can stay that way. The “sick dog” phrase has become very famous. It causes me beautiful sensations and for this I thank him beyond the term he used. I know inside me what he meant.’

Among the many satisfactions of last season, there is also the bitterness for the Europa League final lost against Sevilla: «Suffering is the right term because if you think back on some moments, negative sensations come to mind. The warmth that the fans showed us made us feel part of something that goes beyond the negative feelings you can experience during that match. We are aware that we have played in two consecutive European finals. It’s not something for everyone and we know the work that needs to be done and what we are capable of. We’ll start over from what we’ve done, in football we always need to confirm ourselves and we’ll give everything to do it again this year».
