During Roma's training camp in Wales, forward Malen was interviewed by Il Messaggero.

Evaluating Roma

Roma is fantastic, the quality of life here is very high. Whether it's the climate, the beauty of the city, or the warmth of the locals, it's a great place.

Talking about the World Cup and Koeman

A lot happened, and unfortunately, we weren't so lucky, both as a team and individually. Now I hope to prove myself again at Roma.

These things can happen in football. For me as a player, and for him as a coach, the results were not ideal, so let's leave it at that.

Last season, Malen scored 14 goals in Serie A. His next goal is to compete for the league's golden boot. The last Roma player to win the Serie A top scorer was Dzeko 10 years ago, when the Bosnian striker scored 29 goals in a single season.

I hope I can do something similar, but I prefer to take it week by week, keep improving, and then see how many goals I can ultimately score. Of course, goals are important, but ultimately the biggest success is not my personal statistics, but qualifying for the Champions League again after 7 years. If we can replicate last season's achievements, that would be fantastic, both for me personally and for the team.

Talking about the future

My family and I are living well here, I'm scoring goals, the relationship with the team is very good, and the fans are also great. There's no reason for me to consider a change of scenery at the moment.

A few weeks ago, I also watched a video of Roma celebrating their Serie A title in 2001 at the Circus Maximus. If we could experience such a moment again, it would be wonderful, it's a dream.

Talking about Gasperini

I am impressed by the trust he places in me and the clarity in his communication. It's hard not to understand his demands. He knows my characteristics and puts me in the best position to complete the final link in the team's overall attack.

Talking about Summerville

I did talk to him (Summerville). It's a shame it didn't work out in the end, but I don't want to comment on a friend's choices. I just wish him all the best.

Talking about Roma's transfer target Givairo Read

No, I haven't contacted him. I know him, he plays for Feyenoord, he's very young, has strong abilities, and is getting more and more attention. He might be able to help us.

Talking about participating in the Champions League

Just participating in the Champions League is a special thing. Imagine if we could reach the final, the whole world would be watching you. How far can we go? I don't know. But if we stay united and humble, I think we can achieve good results.
