After a very impressive start to the season at Roma, Monchi is set to return to Spain to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. The giallorossi’s sporting director gave an interview to El Mundo in which he talked about his new club:”Eveything can be improved, but I’m happy. I always say you must judge a transfer window on June 30th, we live in a time where results are monitored in a brutal manner. My goal is to satisfy the fans and I want to make a dream into a reality: win”
Monchi also described one of the most difficult moments in his tenure with Roma:”I believe Totti appreciated that we discussed his retirement by looking him in the eye. This was certainly important to put the basis on a rofessional and human relationship between the two of us. When I told him this would be his last season my legs were shaking, because I wasn’t saying this to just any player, I was saying so to Francesco Totti”
