Hummels sees progress at AS Rome: Soon we will be better!

Rom, Italien - The former soccer player Mats Hummels, now at AS Rome, is optimistic after his second mission despite a defeat against SSC Naples. After the 0: 1 on Sunday, the 35-year-old explained DAZN at the streaming service: "I work to help the team as good as possible and as soon as possible". Hummels emphasizes that he needs more playing time to find his shape and help the team.

Hummels was substituted in the second half of the debut of the new coach Claudio Ranieri. He commented on the team's achievements: "We didn't play badly, but also not good". Despite the defeat, Hummels believes in the team's mentality and is convinced that they will soon appear better as a unit and will achieve better results. "Napoli deservedly won," he added, but the belief in a positive change remains strong.

a difficult start and new hopes

The 2014 world champion had a bumpy start in Rome after he was without contract for weeks and only moved to Italy in early September. In his only game under the previous coach Ivan Juric, he only came to a little more than 20 minutes and achieved an own goal. But Ranieri gives Hummel's hope for more time. «It was a difficult start for me and the team. The season has not been going so well so far, »says Hummels. Rome is currently taking the twelfth place in the table and hopes for a turn in the coming time.
