Roma’s midfielder, along with CFO Lombardo, aims to raise awareness on the issue of bullying: “We must do our utmost because many young people are watching us.”

Rome’s Bryan Cristante was also present at the ‘No Bullies’ event, a stage in the campaign of prevention and fight against the phenomenon of bullying. The initiative took place at the headquarters of the Lazio Region, where both the Roma midfielder and the white-and-sky-blue player Nicolò Rovella along with the president of Lazio Lotito were the protagonists.
Also present for the Yellow-Reds was CFO Maurizio Lombardo. Cristante then took the floor, passionately stating, “It is crucial for all of us to become aware of this aspect and set the example.” “We athletes can be a role model both on and off the field, we must do our utmost because we know that many young people watch us and draw inspiration from us. We must continue to set the best possible example, hoping that things improve in every field.” Echoing the same sentiment, Lombardo powerfully stated, “The Friedkin family and all of the Roma have always condemned acts of bullying. Soccer has an insane visibility, sometimes we don’t even realize it.” “Bullying must be combatted through education, training, hence knowledge, and ultimately by setting an example. Our footballers and we, the executives, know that we must be role models.” The concept of acceptance seems simple, but is often difficult to swallow, especially when it relates to a result. However, the most significant victories often emerge from defeats.

Translation:

The notion of “acceptance” might seem straightforward, but it’s often hard to digest, particularly when it concerns an outcome. Nevertheless, it’s from setbacks that the most vital victories often take rise. We know that footballers are model figures both on and off the field for the younger generations. There are three actors: the bully, the one who endures the violence, and the spectator. This individual is at a crossroads and must decide whether to intervene or not. “We strive to work to ensure that he intervenes because, together, the group can become invincible,” they emphasize. Y
