Felix hoping 'positive' spell continues as he looks to beat Bodo


Felix Afena-Gyan hopes the good times continue as he and Roma prepare to face Bodo/Glimt in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.

The Giallorossi go into the game on the back of a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions - while teenage forward Felix could be involved after a whirlwind few months that have seen him impress for both club and country.

“It’s good for my growth and I think I have positive feelings playing here and being part of my national team,” Felix said.

“I have very positive feelings about playing in Europe.”

He added: “It’s difficult to play on artificial pitches. It’s very difficult – I used to play on them with the Primavera and it is very difficult. What you need to do is have a strong mentality and focus on the match rather than the pitch.

"We will do the best we can to adapt and win the game ahead of us."

The Ghana international is not sure if he will start Thursday's match in Norway, but will be ready if called upon.

“It depends on the coach [whether I will start],” Felix said.

“I don’t know, we will see tonight if I play or not. But if I am given the opportunity then I will do the very best I can to help the team win.

“As the coach said, it’s a nice draw. We are good to go.”
