Roma defender Mario Hermoso said: Sky Sports The day before the Giallorossi’s first Europa League match of the season.
The veteran centre-back discussed tomorrow’s opponents with Athletic Club.
“We all know Athletic Bilbao. They are a team with a clear structure, a very specific philosophy and players who give everything for the team.”
“They are a team that competes very well collectively and are always prepared for a physical duel.”
“Over time, they have brought in younger players like Nico Williams. They have to be matched in the right way and we have to match their physical abilities in individual duels.”
“My favourite young player from Roma? Pisili is probably one of the least known because of his short career, but he is definitely a great player in terms of personality. He has that fundamental quality of modern football, which is that he doesn’t feel pressured when he has the ball at his feet.”
“It’s a skill you either have or you don’t, and it can’t be learned over time.”
