Claudio Ranieri shakes up Roma
With two days to go before the challenge with leading Napoli, Roma coach Claudio Ranieri tries to shake up his team ahead of a very important game. Here are his words.
"Hard to say if there'è or not mentality; the players are good. When you lose you go into a downward spiral, I have been working on their self-confidence. Doing sequential results boosts self-esteem".
"The quality" there" they have to be supported by me and the fans, who are the first thing: they are the soul of a team, the gasoline. We have to pull them behind us with good evidence and desire to show who we are. soccer è simple. Juric found a sad locker room? imagine how I've found it…”.
“We have to help Dybala: if he has this discomfort it has to be solved, if then there'è nothing we have to understand why he feels this pain. We and he are doing everything for him to be available, he è positive and proactive, but I don't want to risk losing him for a month. We have three good games in sequence, I will talkò with him and we will see".
"I thank the fans for trusting me, the demonstrations of affection and esteem received have been incredible. Woe if I had no pressure, I would not have chosen to return. The team has done badly, worse, soò now it must return to do whatò itè is capable of. You don’t need a magician, just a normal person to give it confidence: that’s how you solve the problems of the sick".
"Everywhere I have been, I have brought out the 'child' that there's in them, we have chosen a wonderful profession and the most beautiful in the world, you have to play with that enthusiasm. We are adults and we have responsibility, we have to give everything, they can play well and they have to show us how to do it. You don't heal overnight, but we are ready to take the various steps: we are all united and I am sure the public will also give us a hand".
"Pellegrini? As a captain he must know how to react, when you fall the most beautiful thing è to see how you get back up. To be Roman è a bit introverted, he keeps everything inside and suffers, but I am convinced he will make it. Cristante central defender in case of a 3-man line? He canò play there, but if I have Hummels why do I have to put him there? Obviously Mats was not well, a coach is with the players every day and chooses based on what he sees. You want to know whether he will play 3, 4 or 5…. Soccer changes from one day to the next, we have to be ready to adapt".
