Gini Wijnaldum Absolutely thunderous applause Rome After his appearance on the pitch at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday.
The Europa League champions host Shakhtar Donetsk in their final friendly before the start of Serie A next week – a peaceful tie in Ukraine.
Wijnaldum made his club debut, coming off the bench in a 5-0 win over Lorenzo Pellegrini, Gianluca Mancini, Nicolo Zaniolo and Eduardo Bove , In addition, Yohem Konoplia also scored an own goal.
Before the game, Mourinho’s team was introduced to the enthusiastic red fans one by one, and they made a lot of noise.

When Wijnaldum sang Kungs vs Cookin’s “This Girl” tune on 3 burners, the volume was cranked up to a really amazing level and the fans exploded.
When Wijnaldum signed as Roma’s fifth summer signing, he was greeted by hundreds of fans at the airport.
He was similarly loved when the Argentine was on the pitch on Sunday, as were the likes of Tammy Abraham and Nicolo Zaniolo.
The official presentation was broadcast live on the club’s social media accounts. Nobody likes Rome.
Roma will play Salernitana away on Sunday 14 August before taking on newly-promoted Cremonese in their first home game of the season on 22 August.
