His words: “We are in a good period of form, we think match after match and it helps us a lot.”

Niccolò Pisilli spoke to Sky at the end of the match won against Monza. Here’s what he had to say:

“Thinking back to that initial opportunity, is there a bit of anger?” “It was a glaring chance that I missed, an easy goal and probably already made.”
“I don’t know why I made a mistake, I hope next time will be better. Terrible, there’s little else to say.”

No team has scored as many points as Roma in 2025. “We are in a good form right now, we think about each game one at a time and this helps us a lot. “We are all very well, all the players feel important and I think this too is fundamental.”

“Sunday there’s Como: what has changed since Como?” “The second half in Como was perhaps the worst since the coach has been here. We looked each other in the eye and said we had to deliver a significant jolt. I think in the end we accomplished it by continuing to work as a team. “That was the time when the coach was angriest.”

What is the next dream, the next goal? “To continue improving and, if I have to say a dream, to win a trophy with this jersey.” Which position does he favor? “I have always played as a half-wing, mainly in my youth. We often played with three midfielders, and I was the one that tended to spring into space. I have also played in a midfield of two, but this year, I have started to play as an attacking midfielder. “Wherever the coach puts me, I always try to give my maximum; what comes, comes.”

In a second life, would you want to be a journalist? “If football hadn’t been there, that was a world that interested me a lot, to remain in the football environment.” “If I hadn’t succeeded as a footballer, I would have liked to become a sports journalist or commentator.”

“Why did you choose football and not tennis?” “Actually, I started with tennis, but my brother was playing football and I asked to play as well.” “It’s going well.”

PISILLI TO DAZN

The match went well, have you decided how to celebrate the renewal? “No, but I will take my teammates to dinner and then my family.”

On the botched goal at the beginning. “I definitely missed an outstanding goal, a goal already made. “I was extremely close to the door, it bounced back on me quite roughly, but it’s my own fault. I perhaps arrived a tad too early, I don’t know, I still can’t quite explain it”.

You’ll fall asleep thinking about this goal and not the others. “If I fall asleep. You have not provided any text for me to translate into English. Please provide the text and I will gladly assist you. “

On the Missed Goal. “Learning from mistakes is the most important thing in football”. Was Ranieri satisfied with your performance at the end of the match? “Yes, today I played in the midfield, further back than where I have been playing lately. We didn’t talk at the end of the match but I believe he might be satisfied, especially with the team’s performance”. What do you dream of for your future with Roma? “Right now, my focus is on training well because I am only 20 years old. I have yet to prove much and I need to demonstrate my worth every day. If I were to share a dream, it might be to win a trophy with this jersey.” “The Championship? Maybe, whatever comes, comes. Now I’m focused on playing to the best of my abilities.”

PISILLI IN PRESS CONFERENCE

Can you share some backstage information about the renewal? “The way it went was all very simple, there were never any problems. My agent took care of the rest. My colleagues showered me with praise, and when the occasion lends itself, I will offer a dinner to everyone to enjoy some time together. My first message? It was to my Mom and Dad, who were there physically with me.

Has something changed in athletic training? “Each coaching team that comes in has its own methodology. I am not qualified to judge which is most correct; the coach has introduced his own training methods. “We train well, we all feel important and we must continue like this.”

“Would you have liked to face Lazio in the round of 16? The emotions of the goal against Porto?” “Scoring a goal is always an incredible emotion.” “During the draw, we were training, we weren’t thinking about it too much. Whichever team we’d face, we would tackle them as usual,” “Now you dream of winning something with this jersey. What could this Europa League represent?” “It could be the turning point of the season which started off poorly, and now we are making a comeback. “We’re still below expectations; Europe could be a turning point.”

Focusing on what aspect of your game are you concentrating on more? Are you trying out more of shooting from outside? “I need to significantly improve my shooting, and it was evident today. “The requests from the coach are to hold back rather than charge forward; the focus is to understand the rhythm of the game. This insight can only be achieved through experience. If you are skillful and intelligent, you can pull it off,” was the statement made. Who should you thank from the youth sector? “I didn’t have De Rossi for very long, my coach in the Primavera was Guidi, I owe him a lot, I got along very well with him and I spent two fantastic years.”
