The visibly happy German never holds back when he encounters fans.
Stoplights. The Romans could write a book about random encounters, celebrity sightings, and fleeting flirts that last just the duration of a red light. Last night, however, a Roma fan (Leonardo Castaldi), who had just left the Olympic stadium, couldn’t believe his eyes. There, in the car next to his on the Lungotevere, was none other than Mats Hummels. Sporting a cap, draped in a Roma tracksuit, with the car window down and music blaring. The German, with spirited eyes and a vast smile, engaged in conversation with a fan. He proclaimed, “How are you? As for me? I’m well and overjoyed about the victory.” “Are you happy?” An inevitable answer. Then the green light flashes and Hummels exclaims, “Forza Roma”. It’s not unusual to encounter the German defender around the capital. “Indeed, Rome is a beautiful city,” proclaimed Ranieri last Wednesday. The story of the young fan was posted on Instagram, complete with a tag to Forzaroma. Sorry, but you didn’t provide any text to translate.
