Santiago Castro releases first Roma interview: “I wanted to come here as soon as possible.” Santiago Castro is finally a Roma player. The Argentine introduced himself with his first interview with the club. “I wasn’t expecting such a welcome; it was wonderful from the moment I arrived in the city. You could feel the fans’ enthusiasm even when I came to play here. I thank the club and the club for placing their trust in me and giving me the opportunity to play for the team from the capital,” he began, commenting on his arrival at Termini. Regarding the timing of the deal, he then clarified that he pushed to come to the capital: “It was a short negotiation; from the very beginning, I pushed to come here. I had a meeting with the sporting director, where he explained what they wanted from me. I know what I can offer and how to help the manager, and as soon as I spoke to them, I chose to come here.” Castro also spoke about Gasperini: “I like Gasperini’s style of play. He’s been doing well for many years at both Atalanta and Roma, leading them to the Champions League. I’ll do what he asks of me; I’m ready to play anywhere.” Regarding his strengths, the Argentine said: “I’m a player who can improve; you can always improve. I want to help the team; I think it’s important to help the team with pressing or with an assist. I don’t always focus on numbers, but on the team’s well-being.” Castro then commented on the bond between the Argentines and the capital: “Seeing the history of the Argentines who have done well here is important to me. You can even see their photos in the training center; I want to do as they did.” He scored against both Roma and Lazio, now Castro is aiming for the derby: “You could say I’m used to scoring at the Olimpico, I hope to continue like this. Here last time I scored and hit the crossbar, but I also scored twice against Lazio and we’re level. I want to score in the derby.” Regarding the Champions League, he said: “Playing in the Champions League is the dream of any child who starts playing football, it will be wonderful to hear that anthem.” El Torito amazed everyone with his wolf tattoo: “I have many tattoos, a bit of everything. My family is there and I also have the wolf.” He then concluded by thanking the fans: “I want to thank those who came to welcome me and those who wrote to me. I’m happy to be here, I’ll leave everything for this team and this place.
