AS Roma recently became the first football club in the world to launch an official account on the WeChat platform outside of China and today’s intimate live chat with Florenzi proved particularly popular with thousands of fans attempting to join the conversation.
Only 100 followers can join the conversation live but we’ve re-produced the entire chat in this article so that all fans can read what the midfielder had to say on a variety of subjects ranging from his Serie A debut to his goal at the weekend as well as his off the pitch interests. Getting into the spirt of the WeChat platform, Florenzi began and ended the chat with an audio message for the fans whilst the Giallorossi No. 24 also made one fan’s day by posing for a selfie!
