Goalkeeper of the national team of Sweden Robin Olsen told about his transition to Roma.

Newcomer Roma Robin Olsen, who defended the Swedish national team's goalie in the playoffs of the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Italy, which put an end to the hopes of the Adyurri's "scuadra" to get on the mundial, did not expect to be in Serie A.

"I would never have thought that after our victory in the playoffs, someone would want to see me in Italy," the Swede joked during his official presentation. "Seriously, it's a giant step forward in my career.". I gladly accepted the offer of Roma, and, as far as I know, everyone in Sweden is happy with me, because everyone knows how strong and nice Roma. I know that everyone is waiting for me to successfully replace Alisson. I am flattered that I am compared to such a classy goalkeeper. But I prefer simply to do my job qualitatively, and not to prove that I'm no worse or better than someone ".

28-year-old Olsen, who played 23 games for the national team of Sweden, became known to the general public after moving to Malmo, for which he played 75 matches. Then in his career was PAOK (19 matches) and Copenhagen (99).
