Returning Pizarro given amazing reception by fans


David Pizarro received a rousing reception from Roma fans when he was presented to the Stadio Olimpico before Sunday's game against Genoa.

The former Chile international, who recently announced his retirement from professional football, was given a warm round of applause by the Curva Sud, as he took to the pitch before the Serie A opener.

"You know how much I care about this club," Pizarro, who was accompanied by his daughter for the presentation, told Roma TV.

"[The ovation] is one of those things that you never, ever forget. I like to think I left a mark here."

Pizarro, who played for the Giallorossi for six years between 2006 and 2012, made over 200 appearances for the club - winning the Coppa Italia twice and the Supercoppa once during his career.

Grande Pek!
