Federico Fazio claims Roma are 'the most important club in Italy' whilst rejoicing at playing with his friend Diego Perotti.

The defender joined to repair the Giallorossi's back-line after the injury of Antonio Rudiger, and although he faces a stern first test in the forms of the Champions League play-offs, he is enthusiastic about getting started in Italy.

“Every league has its own characteristics,” he said in his first Press conference. “I haven't been in Italy very long, but I reckon the Italian championship should be the best fit for my skills. My strength is that I always fight, I am competitive. I always want to win, so let's hope we can snatch a title as early as this year.

“Workingin Italy was one of my objectives. Playing for Roma is a dream come true, as I believe they are the most important club in Italy. For me it's a source of enormous pride, I can't wait to play before our fans.

“A player I always drew inspiration from is Samuel. As a Boca supporter, I followed him when he moved to Roma.

“Franco Baldini? I didn't speak with him. Negotiations were carried out only between the two clubs.”

Fazio came across his friend Perotti when joining Roma.

“Diego is a dear friend. When I came here in March, he told me he'd been enchanted by the team and the fans, and that Roma are a great club.

“Being able to share with him moments of sport on a football pitch, after we already spent seven years together, is something that makes me proud.

“We used to tell each other than in modern football it's unlikely that you can spend so long at a club, never mind together with another player.”
