Roma striker Tammy Abraham aims to win the Europa League with Roma, the only European trophy missing in his cabinet but admits ‘everyone’ misses Paulo Dybala when he doesn’t play.
The England international spoke to reporters during Roma’s media day at Trigoria on Thursday, six days before a Europa League Final against Sevilla.
“I am excited, we have a game on Saturday we have to prepare for. We want to win but we need to be confident for the Final,” said the Giallorossi star.
“We had the feeling of winning a trophy last season so we need to do this feeling again. It would be a dream to win, but to score and win would be extra special. This is an amazing club, it means everything to me and my team and the most important thing is the trophy.
“I think every trophy should be a motivation to everybody. Two years, two Finals is a dream,” he continued.
“Nobody thought this would happen and now we’re here. We are so close but yet so far. In a final anything can happen, you can win and lose but the most important thing is that we leave everything on the pitch and we have no regrets. It’s another competition I want to win, it’s the only [European trophy] left in my cabinet, it would be very important for me as well.”
José Mourinho also spoke to the media on Thursday admitting Dybala is unlikely to be available against Sevilla although there’s still hope La Joya can play for 15 or 20 minutes in Budapest.
“Dybala is a special player, we knew when we signed him and he hasn’t let us down,” said Abraham.
“He’s showing his qualities. It’s unfortunate; he had a few injuries in the past. It’s always nice to play with him and we all miss him when he doesn’t play.” Football Italia
