Donyell Malen: "I really like Roma. Totti? Really special"

Donyell Malen became the decisive factor for Roma to qualify for next season's Champions League. The Dutch striker told Cronache di Spogliatoio about his influence at the Giallorossi club: "Do you like Roma?" "Yes, I like it very much. The fans and the city are very beautiful. I feel comfortable here. I like the climate, like the food." "What is your favorite food?" "I like pasta and also pizza, sometimes. And I like this city very much. If you ask my teammates, they will always say that I often wander around the city because I like to be outside." "What was your first feeling when you arrived in Rome?" "When I arrived, the fans were waiting for me outside and cheering. They welcomed me and hugged me wonderfully and I really appreciated that." "If you had come at the beginning of the season, do you think you would have won the top scorer title?" "In my opinion, I could have a good chance, but football doesn't work like that. I arrived in January and am trying to help the team achieve its goals, which is much more important than being top scorer." "Are there any teammates who have supported you from day one at Roma?" "Everyone was very kind. I already knew Devyne from the Netherlands. Everyone tried to create a connection with me both on and off the field. Some people didn't speak English well, but that's okay: what matters is the feeling and the bond. I integrated very well." "What is the secret to this strong start?" "I don't think there is any secret on the field. Football is about moments. I worked hard and practiced a lot to get here and feel I'm ready. Sometimes things have to go right, but you still have to work hard." "Who is your favorite Italian player? Have you followed Serie A in recent years?" "I followed a lot because many Dutch players played in Serie A. I have to say Totti is really special."
