Strukelj reveals: “In Rome-Liverpool in 1984 I should have taken the last penalty”
Mark Strukeljformer Roma player, he expressed himself live in Sport Sound Center, recalling some of his moments in the Giallorossi side of the capital: “The 1983/1984 season, the one in which I went to Roma, was fantastic. There is regret for the final of the European Cup, but for me it was an exceptional championship. I came from Trieste, for the first time I came to a club where you breathed football. My worst memory was the accident in Avellino during the Easter period, unfortunately I never recovered and I still pay for these problems. It was the last season where I was fine, then I had several problems. It remains a good season in an important club, my teammates were the top at that time. There weren’t the squads of now, but let’s say they were all of a high level “.
And the penalties of Rome-Liverpool?
“I was sorry not to throw them, I had won an Anglo-Italian tournament by kicking the last penalty. I had decided to do the same in the final too, then I think they moved me to sixth because I was too young, in any case I had to be the fifth to take the penalty. We will never know, unfortunately ”.
A few words about Captain Pellegrini.
“He is an important player, then if you are the captain of your club it means that you are a stylist for the club and the coach, this means a lot. Roma have very high margins for improvement, they are a team that can have their say in the years to come. This trophy they have won is important, then it is always a European cup, it gives you awareness, strength and enthusiasm. Roma will certainly grow “.
