Paredes: “Coming back to Roma was incredible.” | OneFootball

Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes was a guest on the feature promoted by the Serie A social channels entitled “The ‘eternal’ genius of Rome: Solidity and sustainability in motion – Champions of Made in Italy.”

On this occasion, the Argentine shared his point of view on the experience of playing in the Italian top flight.

“For me, Serie A is the league I followed the most when I was little. At that time, I was very young, there were very strong teams. It was the league I liked the most. It was a dream for me to be able to play in this league.”

“Today, being able to do it, playing so many games in this league is a privilege for me, it is an honor and I hope to be able to play many more.”

“For me, coming back to Rome was something incredible, because from the first day they treated me in the best possible way. The day I had to leave, not only me, but also my family suffered a lot.”

“The most important thing for a footballer is to know the environment he is in, the people he surrounds himself with, the people who are close to you, those who make you understand what is right and what is wrong.”

“Roma is very special to me, it was my first club in Europe, it was the team that opened the doors for me to play in this country. Here, in this city, two of my children were born. It is one of the cities where I would like to live once I finish my career, so it is very special not only for me, but also for my family.”

On the iconic number 16 he wears now: “Wearing this shirt for me is an honor, a privilege, a huge responsibility, and I would never have allowed myself to take that number without Daniele’s permission, because it is a very important number, not only for him but for all of Rome.”
