Mancini: Mourinho changed the fate of everyone in Rome, the Europa League final is a scar and still hurts
Recently, Rome defender Gianluca Mancini expressed his loyalty and love for the club in an interview with "Roman Sports".
Mancini admitted that since joining Rome in 2019, the city's enthusiasm has brought him into an emotional vortex: "Rome has embraced you from the beginning. Whether on the streets or in bars, people will talk about Rome, asking why the team doesn't win or how strong this year. Rome is everywhere, it is a polyhedral concept, wonderful and unique. The fans can't play, so I try to fight for them and deal with injustice with their attitude."
When asked if I would stay in Rome for life, Mancini replied without hesitation: "Absolutely willing. Coming here in 2019, it was my dream to be a club symbol. I am a Roman, I have been my whole life, and I enjoy this sense of belonging." Regarding the new contract, he clarified: "No discussion yet, but this is not a problem for me, I have no worries."
Speaking of the derby against Lazio, Mancini described the inner torment: "The stomach churned before the game, and the tension was almost suffocating. You will think of yourself completing the Rome debut in the derby. The week before the game was as difficult as a nightmare, and I just hope the game will start soon."
He specifically mentioned the influence of the two coaches , Gasperini is "the greatest football and tactical mentor I have ever met. He is strict on the court and never makes excuses. He makes you unconsciously raise the standards"; Mourinho is called "the monster that changes my fate with the team" by him, "he brings aura, mentality and belief. On the court, I am his leader, sometimes even overdoing it - but because of the firm belief that he can lead the team to win."
The loss in the UEFA Europa League final is still a scar in Mancini's heart: "That wound is still painful. I have never watched the game video again and I have been to the penalty shootout on Instagram When I was frequent, I would put down my phone immediately. We should have won the cup, but that mistake ruined everything. As the person involved in the own goal and the penalty kick, I will always remember Budapest. "
Looking to the future, he emphasized that Roma's goal must be to return to the Champions League: " Such a team should not miss the Champions League for a long time, and I have never played this game."
Facing Saudi interest, Mancini's attitude was firm: "Although there was a tentative inquiry, I have told the agent: I am so happy here. I love this club and this jersey deeply, and there is nothing else to think about."
