Justin Kluivert reveals why he chose to join Roma
"The level here is higher than Ajax. This is the reason why I chose Rome. Now I expect a lot more from myself, I want to improve day by day. I believe that, regardless of age, when one is ready for the jump simply has to do it. And I was ready.
"The biggest difference? In Italy everyone must defend, this is the big difference. But also from the offensive point of view changes so much: in the Netherlands I was waiting on the band and as soon as I got the ball I had to go in one on one. Here I have to move, go out and come back, attack the space. This I think makes me a better player. I am learning a lot and one day I hope I can play on the whole offensive front.
"Am I the fastest at Roma? I think it's Manolas ... Inside the locker room is definitely the craziest of all, makes jokes all the time but is a very good guy.
"De Rossi? He speaks excellent English, he helped me from all points of view. It's a good thing when such a player shows you so much respect."
