Pellegrini: Put on the Roman jersey & be the captain & hold the trophy, I have realized my dream

August 28th Rome midfielder Pellegrini talked about his Rome career, national team career, De Rossi and other topics when attending the press conference of his new book "LGI Story, Football and the Road to Life".

Pellegrini is from Rome's youth training and has served as the captain of Rome. However, coach Gasperini decided to choose the captain of the field based on the number of appearances the players have for Rome. Pellegrini has played fewer than Saravi and Christant, and is currently ranked third in this Rome team. Pellegrini said: "I have realized my dream of life, which is to play football in the jersey of my beloved team, become the captain, win the trophy and win the trophy."

Pellegrini continued: "After Roma realizes her dream, I have realized another dream, which is to wear the jersey of the Italian national team and sing the national anthem before the game. This is an incredible experience. The national team is the only team that can participate without a contract. When you come to the national team, you must feel honored."

Rome legend De Rossi had previously served as the head coach of Roma, but last season, Roma failed to win in the first four rounds of Serie A, and De Rossi was immediately dismissed. De Rossi has not found a new team to coach. Pellegrini said: "Drossi is unlucky, but he is as open-minded as me. I think he can find the right solution and express himself in the best way. He has to find someone who trusts him. You know what I think of him, he will be one of the strongest coaches."

Pellegrini suffered a tendon injury in May this year and underwent surgery. He has been recuperating and missed the pre-season training camp in Rome this summer. Pellegrini resumed his first team training session in Roma this Wednesday and is expected to return to the arena after the national team match in September. Previously, Roma coach Gasperini and sports director Masala said that he would not renew his contract with Pellegrini, and he may leave this summer with only one year left in the contract.
