In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma's newest recruit, Sule, elaborated on why he chose Roma over Leicester City out of the many offers that came his way. The interview not only shows his love for soccer, but also shows us that he considered a number of factors when making his decision.
First of all, Sule confessed that he originally dreamed of playing in the English Premier League, and Leicester City, as an English Premier League powerhouse, was naturally very attractive to him. However, in the process, Roma threw out the olive branch to him, and with De Rossi and other Roma legends as well as current teammates enthusiastic invitation, let him feel the full sincerity and sense of belonging from the club. This sense of belonging is irresistible to any player.
Secondly, Sule also made special mention of the passion and enthusiasm of the Roma fans. He recalled the time he watched Roma's UEFA Cup match against Feyenoord at the Stadio Olimpico, where 70,000 fans sang the team anthem from start to finish, and was deeply touched by the heart-stopping spectacle. This strong sense of collective honor and the love of the fans is a great temptation for any player who aspires to prove himself on a higher stage. Sule said that this feeling made him start to seriously consider the possibility of joining Roma, even though at the time he was still facing the option of staying at Juventus.
