Introduction from CEO Italo Zanzi
"Today we introduce an important player 'Gervinho'
Gervinho's thoughts:
ROMA ATTACK
"It's important to have quality up front, some players have left but others will come in. This team impressed me when they played on their US tour. Ljajic? I hadn't met him before, but both the new signing and myself will add to this side, which already has a great roster. Totti? It's an honor to play alongside him, I used to admire him on TV when I was still back in Africa."
SERIE A DEBUT
"I wasn't surprised on my debut, I'm pleased to have started this new adventure with a win on the opening weekend, even though I didn't start the match. My fitness levels? I'm still not 100%, but Garcia knows me well and knows I have to work to get up to my best."
ARSENAL EXPERIENCE
"Perhaps I could have done better there, but I really enjoyed my time in London and I'm happy to have been at that club. After two years though I needed a new challenge. Wenger? He's a coach I respect. He claimed I looked like I lacked confidence at Arsenal, but I'm sure I can do well with Garcia, because he knows what I can do."
GARCIA
"I don't have a preferred positon, I've played everywhere: on the wing or through the middle. I'll play wherever the coach wants me to, and will bring my quality to the team: pace and running high up the field. I know I need to work, I've not been told by the coach I'll be a definite starter. Just because I know Garcia doesn't mean anything."
RACISM
"It's not easy for black players to face racism on the field of play. I hope it doesn't happen again and that people realize how serious these incidents are. I back the efforts FIFA are making in this area."
AIMS
"My aims are the same as the team's: win trophies and be successful with this ambitious club. I'll do everything I can to help the team."
MOVE TO ROMA
"I left a big club like Arsenal to come to another one like Roma. It's a step forward in terms of my career."
