While speaking with Sky Italia, as relayed by Tuttomercatoweb, Zalewski expressed his emotions after winning such a prestigious award, highly praising Roma boss Jose Mourinho for believing in him:
It is certainly a unique emotion to be here, these are unforgettable days that are lived only once in a lifetime. I am very happy”.
“The finale of last season was very special, I worked hard to earn the place, now I have to confirm what is good. Mourinho is like a second dad, I love him very much because he treats me like a son.”
