ANSA - Arena, 16, says 'nothing changes' after scoring in Roma debut

I've already learnt a lot with Gasperini says teen

Antonio Arena said he will not be getting carried away after the 16-year-old scored in his debut for AS Roma on Tuesday, a 3-2 defeat to Torino in the Italian Cup.
    "Nothing changes for me after today," the Italian-Australian forward, who was born in Sydney, told Mediaset after briefly levelling the score at 2-2 following his entry as a substitute.
    "I've had four matches on the bench with (coach Gian Piero) Gasperini and a few training sessions, but I've already learned a lot.
    "He has won many games and developed many good players.
    "I want to keep working and I hope to continue like this.
    "It's a beautiful moment," he said about the goal.
    "I felt a bit nervous but I came on and I only focused on playing and a nice cross come from Wesley at the far post and I scored a beautiful goal".
