Roma striker Edin Dzeko: Italy and Rome feel like home

AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko admits the Italian capital feels like home.

He wrote for the Players' Tribune: “It's funny, I've played football in many countries now, but it's only in Rome that I have felt like I am at home.

"Bosnia and Sarajevo will always be No. 1 in my heart, but Rome is a good second.

“Home for me is a place I feel good, where I'm just thinking about football, where there are no other problems, and where my family is happy. I wanted to go to Serie A so I could learn the language, and now I've built something really nice here.

“People always ask me the difference between playing in England and Italy. England is speed, speed, speed. Here it is tactics, tactics, tactics. It's amazing how much I learned in three years in Serie A. They think about every small detail here."
