his feet after enjoying an "unforgettable" debut for the club on
Saturday.
Roma announced on Tuesday they had secured a deal to bring
El Shaarawy in on loan from AC Milan for the remainder of the
2015-16 season.
The 23-year-old was handed a start in their Serie A clash with
Frosinone and the forward repaid coach Luciano Spaletti's faith,
scoring the goal to put the side 2-1 up in a 3-1 home victory.
"It’s really satisfying and I am so happy to start well with a
victory for the team," the Italy international told Sky Italia.
"I gave it a go, fortunately it went well. The feeling of scoring
that goal and being hugged by my teammates was
unforgettable.
"I’m happy with the win, but we need consistency and as many
points as possible.
"The objective is to put together a run of victories so we can get
a momentum going."
El Shaarawy's goal was reminiscent of something his former
Milan team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic would pull off.
"I learned a few things in training," he said with a smirk.
The forward insisted he is intent on getting back to full fitness
and putting his career back on track.
"My problem is that I tend to drift out of the game, but with a
midfield like Roma’s I can get more involved and be decisive. I
want to get my fitness levels back now," he added.
"I’m working on my left foot, as in the past my teammates told
me to vary it a bit rather than cut in from the left and shoot with
the right. I’m working on it.
"My objective coming to Roma was to give a turning point to my
career. The last few months at Monaco did not go well, I am
here to get back on my feet and reach a crossroads.
"I think I’ll get the chance to express myself in this team."
