Quotes
"I really missed being myself. Last year, I, unfortunately, had a very difficult season. I didn’t have pre-season, I had some injuries," Roma striker Andrea Belotti said after scoring twice against Salernitana.
"For sure, I was never at one hundred percent. This year I started from the beginning and did all of the pre-season without any problems. When I feel one hundred percent, I know I can be of great help.
"Today, I tried to contribute, but the squad was unable to win. We are deeply disappointed because we have to win.”
