I'm really good at scoring goals. I play for AS Roma. That's why they called me to train at Trigoria. First thing I did was have breakfast. A nice cappuccino with a croissant. Everything was delicious.
I had to put on all the Roma gear because we players have to dress the same so the Roma people are happy. When we start playing in September they give us tons of stuff: lots of shirts with long and short sleeves, tracksuits, shorts, little shorts I really don't like, and two heavy jackets for the cold. And bags too. I don't know what to do with all that stuff.
At Trigoria I talked about how I play. They took us into a room with lots of lights where they do television. There was a big strange microphone. Tall. They asked if I wanted to say something into the microphone and I said: "Hello everyone!". I didn't know what to say. But I thought to myself: "How cool!!". Then they asked if I wanted to sit where the players talk to journalists. There's a big table with strange chairs. They call it the press conference room, they told me. I sat down very happily. Then I also saw a really beautiful swimming pool. When it's hot I would go swimming in it even if maybe I'd be a little scared to get in. The sea is better.
I told everyone that I'm friends with Stephan El Shaarawy and that one time, right at Trigoria, while we were playing Francesco Totti came onto the field to say hello and surprise us but he ruined the game because then we didn't play anymore because everyone wanted to take a photo with him. But then Totti and Daniele De Rossi sent me a video to say hello. Then I found out my friend Kolarov doesn't play at Trigoria anymore: he held my hand when I came onto the field at the Olimpico stadium with the players. He was worried because I kept fixing my shoe and he thought something was wrong. But it wasn't.
At Trigoria I talked with Chris Smalling who is tall and has really really unusual hair, kind of like little braids. I told him: "Hey, you're handsome, I love you!". And he laughed so hard and clapped. Unfortunately we can't hug because of the virus.
Niccolò Zaniolo gave me his shirt with the number 22. And he wrote his signature on the number and "to Benedetta with affection". Niccolò's shirt is way too long on me, it goes down almost to my feet. It looks like a dress to wear to the beach. But it has long sleeves. It's really nice and colorful but it's useless. And he wrote on it too. I don't write on shirts because then they get ruined. He hurt his knee and unfortunately now he can't play anymore. I'm sad about it and I hope he gets better soon. But he doesn't have a wheelchair and he doesn't have crutches either. Maybe he gets better really fast. He does lots of exercises and lots of massages. Let's hope his doctor is good. Then we played a game and I scored 7 goals. That's not bad, right!
