Playing here has always been difficult because of the team and what you do and now I want to enter the Olympic with all of you”.
What a welcome! ????

Dybala was left speechless by the impressive reception of the famous ‘tiffosi’ of Rome who usually live in the South curve of the Olympic. The passion of the Italians when it came to experiencing football infected the spirit of the player who recognized that he has a very special affection for the capital. “This will all be a responsibility, but it will also be very beautiful. I want to get fit quickly for you. Rome was in my destiny because of what the city represented in my childhood,” he added.
In the presentation was also his new coach, the Portuguese Jose Mourinhobut he did not want to detract from his new player and remained distant with the microphone, something respectable knowing the reaction of euphoria that fans express every time ‘The special one’ addresses them.
