Spinazzola takes part in A Scuola di Tifo

The Roma Cares initiative, which sees players visit youngsters to remind them of the importance of key elements like fair play, respect and equality, continued this week - as Spinazzola dropped in on pupils at the Giuseppe Impastato Comprehensive school.

"For me, sport is life," Spinazzola said.

"So that's why I am always convinced that if you are good in your everyday life - if you respect yourself, others and the rules and you behave in the right way - then it is absolutely possible to achieve great things.

"Respect for others is at the very foundation of things, as it is in sport, and in my case on the football pitch. You always have to have respect for your opponent."

As part of the initiative, to support students during the current pandemic, Roma Cares will donate a number of tablets to students in order for them to continue their remote learning.

Since last year the 'A Scuola di Tifo' ('A School for Fans') project has been operating in memory of Willy Monteiro, the 21-year-old who was killed in an unprovoked attack in Colleferro, just outside Rome.
