Roma forward Artem Dovbik spoke about his adaptation to the Roman club and the team’s recent results in the Italian championship.

In Spain, I had more space, but I’m trying to improve. But now this makes me a better striker, as I play against defenders who are harder to face. Thanks to them, I try to improve myself.
I’m not very satisfied with my goals, I don’t celebrate them because I know I can do much more on the field. I think it’s a matter of time, and I will try to show my best form later.
The head coach asked my teammates to help me more, to make more crosses to take advantage of my attributes. Now there are more opportunities, and communication among us is improving.
When you have partners like Pellegrini and Dybala, it’s great, but we need time to adapt and improve communication on the field. We are playing better because we have started to win. I don't feel too much pressure.
When I arrived in Rome, I realized that forwards here are under a lot of pressure. Everyone expected me to score 2-3 goals per game, but the main thing is to stay calm, it takes time to find understanding, and I am trying to enjoy every moment with my teammates," Dovbik said at the press conference after the match against Genoa.
