AS Roma striker, Tammy Abraham, believes the club’s manager,
Jose Mourinho, has turned him into a ‘monster’ and a more aggressive player.
Abraham left Chelsea to join Roma in the summer transfer
window.
The England international has so far scored five goals for
the Serie A side this season.
Asked what Mourinho had taught him at Roma so far, Abraham
said at his post-match press conference following England’s World Cup
qualifier’s 5-0 win over Albania at Wembley: “Just be a monster really!
“I think one of the things he said was I was too much of a
nice player and that you have to show that aggressiveness as you’re getting
older as a striker.
“It’s not always about being nice on the pitch. You need
that character, you need that presence to frighten defenders and I think that’s
something I’m learning and getting better at.
“It’s always tough, moving and going to experience a
different country and different culture.
“I felt the sooner I settled in, the better and started
learning different types of football and different styles. I’ve gone to spread
my wings and hopefully, I can keep up the level of performance I need to stay
in the team.
“Of course (the World Cup) was in the back of my mind, but
really I just wanted to play football. For me, it’s still a young career and I
just felt I needed to go out and play some games to improve and hit the highest
levels and hopefully, I can keep striving on.”
