Pellegrini: “Ranieri understands me. I never thought about leaving. I’m not running away: Rome is my home”

Lorenzo Pellegrini with an open heart. The captain of the Rome breaks the silence and almost a week after the goal in the derby he confesses his emotions to the Gazzetta dello Sport: “There was perhaps a little too much talk about my mood. It was normal that I was angry, things weren’t going well for all of us. Ranieri gave me, the team and the city back the serenity we needed.”

Pellegrini then explained the celebration after the goal against Lazio: “Sometimes it seems to me that my reserve, my silent being is a bit misrepresented, as if personality is just about making a mess. For me it’s not like that, the personality is being yourself. It was a gesture to say that this is a special club for me, it’s my home. There will never be a day in which Pellegrini will give anything less for Roma.”

But despite everything, were there moments in which Pellegrini thought about leaving? “No, never. I’ve experienced many hard moments, but also wonderful ones. But I’m not someone who runs away.” Clear message.
