Niles will be on loan at Roma for six months, and if nothing else, he will be able to play in Serie A against Juventus, which is good news for Mourinho, who is missing major general. Niles is a typical jack-of-all-trades player who can play in multiple positions, and his arrival has finally given Roma a rotation on the right, especially with Karlsdorp suspended.
Speaking about the reasons for coming to Rome, Niles admitted that Mourinho was a big reason for him. "Mourinho is one of the best coaches in the world, if not the best. Mourinho has won countless titles, he's a great coach, he likes to be honest with you, he's a simple happy guy. Mourinho only wants to win, but that's what football is all about: winning. So working under such a coach, there is no higher requirement than to do what a player should do. ”
When asked if he had met Mourinho, Niles responded: "Yes, we both had dinner together last night. We talked about future plans and Mourinho also expressed directly what I wanted and what he expected, overall it was a very good conversation. ”
If nothing else, Niles will have the opportunity to play against Juventus: "Serie A has a lot of fast-paced games and there are a lot of attacking teams. I guess I'm a good fit for this type of football, you know. I'm from the Premier League and I don't think Serie A is that different. I just want to play and play well. ”
