Pizarro thanks for 2nd chance

Video Safari

David Pizarro thanked Roma coach Luciano Spalletti for giving him a second chance after his star cameo in last night's 4-0 whitewash of Shakhtar Donetsk.
Pizarro, who was dropped to the bench after reacting angrily to being taken off on Saturday, turned the
game as a late substitute last night.
"I was desperate for an evening like this to redeem myself," said the Chilean. "I was wrong on Saturday and I am grateful to Spalletti for this new chance.
"Fortunately the anger I had was transformed into positive energy. We hope to go as far as we can in Europe, but must keep our feet on the ground."
