Roma, Claudio Ranieri is not thinking about the future

Soì Claudio Ranieri, on the eve of the Europa League challenge with Braga, comments on his role halfway between coach and manager: ”With the owner and Ghisolfi we think about everything, about today, the market and tomorrow. The coach we just dusted him off, but he is not è the priority right now. I cannot deny that I have addressed the issue, but we will adjourn. Whether I will still be the coach? No, Saturday’s was a Petrolini joke,” he added. “Let’s look for a good one, then hopefully we won’t make the wrong choice".

Speaking instead about the team, he explained: "To the boys I gave my way of being, I look for empathy in them. But this was a well-coached team, then each coach has his own way of setting, but if the team ran with Napoli, Tottenham and Atalanta è becauseé they had been coached well before. I just took advantage of their preparation".

Asked if Roma should choose between the league and the cups, he instead replied: "Every match must make us think and give our best, only in this wayì a positive team spirit is created. We must do well in the Europa League, Coppa Italia and the league".

Also in the press conference with Ranieri was Alexis Saelemaekers: "Whether my role is inside the field, outside or fifth doesn’t matter, I play where I can help the team. Now we need to take the points, my performance and my role take a back seat".

"I immediately felt good in Roma, like a family,” he explained. “My future? The important thing for me è to play soccer, what happens next will not depend only on me. Now the important thing is Roma, but I hope to be a protagonist of the season".

On the climate in the locker room, he concluded: "The air hasn&#39t changed since the beginning of the season, there's a desire to work hard. Then è what è happened, but we players have always been professionals always giving everything".
