Gollini: “I’ve always known my worth.”

Gollini: “I’ve always known my worth.” Roma goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini spoke to Dazn after Roma-Cagliari. The Giallorossi goalkeeper gave his thoughts on the recent match, also focusing on the impact of youngster Emanuele Lulli on the team. “These are important points that allow us to be there. I’m playing a lot of games, it’s not easy, and every now and then I can feel a bit lacking in brilliance, that’s obvious. But strong teams, solid teams with important objectives, manage to get points and win even when they don’t play well. We’ve managed to take away a point that was worth a win, today we managed to take away three, so that’s important. This group is also giving itself a lot of answers, right?” “Everyone is always at their best, and even when they can’t play the most sparkling football they know how to play, they manage to get home results, play tough games, and never give up. So that’s a great thing and a great credit to us.” “Lulli?  I first saw him in training camp, and we all thought he had great athleticism. Then we said many times that the quality of the choices he makes when he gets to the end will make the difference in his career, between being a Serie A player and being a very good player. That will be up to him; he’ll have to learn to make the right choices.” “Now he’s also learning to throw himself into the game. He has great skills and is a great guy, he has a good head on his shoulders. Every now and then I have to call him back to defend because he likes attacking a bit more, but he’s good, he has a lot to improve, he’s a super humble guy, so I’m sure he’ll have a great career.” “As I said, I obviously haven’t played much in recent years, but I see myself in training, my teammates see me, so obviously football is a world that moves super fast. Maybe six months you don’t play much, you don’t do anything and it seems like you’re dead, right? You’re finished. But when you work every day, you know what you’re doing and in any case, even if I haven’t played, I’ve always been in a team, in a high-level environment, with great players, so I’ve always known my value.” “Obviously, you need the chance to play and show it. So I’m happy to have this opportunity now, although obviously I feel sorry for Svilar, who we will all embrace with great happiness when he returns. And the important thing is to move forward and, as I said, do the best for this team because we’re having a great year in many respects, so we need to continue like this.”
