The Porto midfielder also spoke about how he felt when he first arrived at Roma, with Oliveira saying: "It's a great feeling. I thank everyone, coaches and teammates. I played in that position and did what Mourinho asked me to do. These 3 days have taught me how the team plays, and I have seen some tactical arrangements. Although I was new to the city, I felt very relaxed. It's a great feeling. Because I know how special it is to play in this stadium, in this city. Our fans are extraordinary, and it's a shame I didn't make my debut in front of a full stadium and I hope it's going to be full again soon.
