“I perceive our competition normally. We spoke with de Rossi at the beginning of the season about who will play in the starting lineup. He said that Dovbik would be the first attacker and wants me to stay in the team as the second.
It was important for me that the coach wanted to see me in this team. So I decided to stay in Rome and compete for my place.
I perceive this: Dovbik is a main forward and if I am given ten minutes or play a full game, then I go out to the field with another psychology.
If the one who is stronger, never has any problems. If Artem will score more heads and play – well. It seems to me a little and my merit that I give it a good competition. That is why I perceive it calmly, ”Shomodov said.
