The words of Claudio Ranieri

After the late equalizer against Bologna, Roma will try to return to success in the league against Genoa, in the match that will open the 21st day of Serie A. A few days before the match, Giallorossi coach Claudio Ranieri, in a press conference, in addition to identifying the room for improvement of his team, wanted to shed light on the future of some important elements of the Capitoline squad, Pellegrini and Soulé above all.

"With a three-man midfield we are more pragmatic. The preventive markings must be done mainly by the defenders, soì to avoid restarts. Vieira is doing a great job at Genoa. It's a determined team that closes spaces very well. We will have to play a game of great tactical intelligence" began the coach of the Giallorossi.

"Anything è possible in the world of soccer, but I don’t think Pellegrini will leave. If a team should come and he è be happy to leave the club, then we will open to his transfer, but this è is a discourse that applies to everyone, because we do not want disgruntled players in the squad. My feeling è that he will leave. The same goes for Soulé who è a guy I believe in a lot and who will be the future of Roma. I often ask him to be more practical and he is improving. He will stay here with us and he will have his opportunities to show his qualities and his growth,” continued the former Cagliari coach.

"The goal since I arrived è to take it one game at a time. I promise only work and sacrifice. We have to give Roma a practical identity and make sure our players are ready. We are gearing up to face a tough tour de force with as many as 7 games in 21 days, and in every match we will have to be on the ball. We will have to be good at recovering not only our physical energy but also our nervous energy. Our difficulties stem, I think, from the lack of attention in certain situations. The preventive ones do it everywhere, and we cannot be outdone. When we push we do it with too many men, and the guys have to understand that if we attack in five è it is fundamental that two remain blocked to avoid restarts. I hope the team has learned something from being the one that conceded the mostù restarts" added the former Leicester City coach.

"When you change the coach you change becauseé there are problems and morale è down. I expected these issues, now we have solved them. Running well è important, but some times the boys tend to try harder than they should out of enthusiasm. We have to be more intelligent on the field. We are doing quite well, però I am not fully satisfied and it is not only about the transitions we suffer. My team has to play forward, so we are working to improve in our ball possession" concluded Claudio Ranieri.
