SantiagoCastro made his first appearance as a starter for Roma, scoring a spectacular goal against Genoa. The young midfielder declared that he was "delighted" to have scored his first goal with the Roma team, a result that had particular value for him, given the number of walls he had to overcome in the past.
In the match, Roma demonstrated good defensive organisation, lining up one-on-one against their opponents. Castro underlined that the team had already foreseen Genoa's tactics and that, thanks to DeRossi's good execution, they managed to find the goal in the second half. “We played well, we had chances and, above all, the players who didn't have many minutes had confidence,” he added.
The young man then spoke about his partner Lulli, stating that he was three years older, but that he saw in him a boy who "worked
like a dog", highlighting his commitment and determination on the field. Castro defined Lulli as a "golden boy", underlining his ability to push and give his all in every match.
The coach also highlighted the importance of the work done with the young Argentines and with the other players in the team. "We worked a lot here, with the Argentine boys but not only. They gave me a lot of trust," he said, also recalling Messi's last farewell match as an example of greatness and goals.
With the victory against Genoa, Roma demonstrated that they can compete in a difficult match, with a solid performance in both defense and attack. Castro concluded that the team played without anyone always feeling like a starter or not, but with the certainty that teamwork is the key to success. Roma's next match promises to be equally challenging, but the club is confident that it can continue to grow with its young talents and the determination shown on the pitch.
