Vieira speaks to FourFourTwo: “Samp are a big club”

Ronaldo Vieira is widely considered to be one of the best young talents in English football and that’s why Sampdoria decided to bring him to Genoa from Leeds last summer. Now, a few months’ settling in later, the 20-year-old has given an interview to FourFourTwo in which he discusses his move abroad and his hopes for the future – both with Samp and England.

“I wanted to join Sampdoria because they’re a big club,” the midfielder said. “I’ve come here to improve as a footballer. I’m still young and have a lot to learn.

“It’s a bit more tactical in Italy so I’ve been working with the coach, who’s trying to help me improve my game. He wants me to take risks with some passes, try and break through teams, play it forward as much as I can.

“I want to get into the Under-21 squad for the Euros in the summer. It’s a big target because they have a very good team. But it all depends on what I do here because I have to just keep working hard and try and get more games.”
