Rome, July 29 (LaPresse) – "I hope to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, which is a dream." This is what Wesley França, the new Roma player, said in his first interview with the club’s official channels. The Brazilian full-back expressed his happiness about the warm welcome he received at Fiumicino airport. "They showed me so much affection," he explained. "At 6 in the morning, there were 100 people waiting for me. I’m happy about that. The training center is wonderful, and I can’t wait to get to know the Olimpico stadium."
The former Flamengo player was highly desired by Gian Piero Gasperini. "He’s an excellent coach, I can’t wait to meet him and talk with him," Wesley emphasized. "He knows my style of play, very offensive, I like to keep the ball. I need to improve in many areas. I can play both as a wide player in a back four or in a 3-4-3. By doing well offensively, I can also do well defensively. I hope to make a good contribution to the team."
