After the Europa League match, the German was intercepted by some supporters in Trastevere.

Having arrived from Borussia Dortmund, after playing a Champions League final, in Rome Mats Hummels was expecting a different welcome. However, after nearly two months, he still has not set foot on the field. The most concerning thing is that he himself had revealed that he would make his debut against Dinamo Kiev, when in fact he only warmed up yesterday. After the Europa League match – as reported in today’s edition of Il Messaggero – the German player was intercepted by some fans in Trastevere to whom he confided these words: “I don’t know why I didn’t play.” “I’m at the coach’s disposal, if they let me play, I’m in.” Even yesterday, the former Dortmund defender watched his teammates as he stretched near the corner flag for the entire second half, without the opportunity to set foot on the field. In the post-match interview, Ivan Juric stated, “Hummels? I now see him in Ndicka’s position, I prefer not to make many changes in the defensive phase and provide certainty, Ndicka is really strong at the moment. His time will come, he will be a great asset for us.” “If he didn’t play, it’s my fault, not his”. Meanwhile, just a few minutes ago, Mats shared a picture on social media with a caption that reads, “Yesterday’s victory was crucial for us. “Thank you so much, Roma fans, for the love you’ve shown me at the stadium, when you meet me in the city, and for the messages.” The love and support that fans also displayed yesterday when, at the end of the pre-match warm-up, he was the last to return to the locker room, earning the applause of Curva Sud and Monte Mario.
