Castro looks ahead to the challenge with Inter: words on Lautaro and Scudetto ambitions

Santiago Castro, the new center forward of Roma, gave an interview to Corriere dello Sport in which he spoke about the comparison with Lautaro Martinez, his personal ambitions, and the goals of the Giallorossi team. The striker expressed great confidence in the possibilities of the group led by Gasperini.

One of the striker’s nicknames is Torito, in homage to Lautaro. “Yes, but I am Santiago Castro and I want to be myself. Lautaro is a role model, a friend, but I want to follow my own path and above all I want to beat him in the next match against Inter. I have already seen the schedule, I will face him the day after my birthday: it will be a special match between two great teams that will fight until the end to win the championship.”

Asked about Roma’s chances of winning the scudetto, Castro replied with conviction. “Of course, I have seen the value of this group and we can compete with everyone. Because we have strong players in every department and Gasperini is one of the best coaches in Italy. We are at the level to compete for the scudetto and for the Coppa Italia. And we want to do well in the Champions. If you are at Roma you must aim to win everything.”
