LATEST AS ROMA NEWS – Our daily appointment dedicated to the colorful world of Roman radio continues. On Air, the most copied (and pasted) column on the web, is a journey through the frequencies most listened to by Giallorossi fans on the hunt for thoughts, news, rumors and some colorful notes. Enjoy!
David Rossi (Sports Network): “Look at the fact that Ranieri is no longer what he was when he arrived. It has been an escalation: the posture has changed, the body language, the way he responds…The tone was peremptory yesterday, he was almost annoyed. He is a Ranieri who arrived with enthusiasm, but after 3 months the market is not done for him, of new managers no one is seen, he has a null ds…From Dybala to Pellegrini to Paredes he said everything and the opposite of everything. He has fixed things on the field, the grade is 8 as a coach. It comes to me to say that off the field he is 3 or 4, but I don’t know how much depends directly on him: he wanted players by January 10 and nothing, coaches he calls but no one wants to come to a club where there is not even a CEO… If today you go out of the Europa League, it is the fault of a devastating January market…”
Gianluca Piacentini (Rete Sport): “Roma is a disorganized club, which doesn’t have the ability to manage situations, because in the management of Zalewski we are below amateurism…a stuff managed really with feet from the beginning…We have been saying for a long time how Ranieri seems to us worried…guys, Ranieri we had never seen him like that. He didn’t want to talk about the market because it’s a raw nerve, the things he had in mind and anticipated he probably realized are not going to come…If Ranieri were to realize that the words he had been told were false promises and that what he thought he could do as manager is not possible to accomplish, if he doesn’t even have the power to send Dahl and Sangarè out on loan to play, it means he is not in a position to do his job. And if he isn’t, I expect him to say at the end of the season, “Guys, sorry, I believed in this, but instead they played me like they did Mourinho and De Rossi…”… he would come out as a triumphant man. Otherwise he would be co-responsible with society…”
Checco Oddo Casano (Rete Sport): “Ranieri shirking questions about the market is failing in his role, because then it is not true that you are the plenipotentiary of Roma… It is normal that three days before the end of the market you are asked questions of that kind… He could also have said, “I don’t talk about the market, but rest assured that the two players we need, we will get them…,” which would have been a way to calm the square. But him responding in that way and with that face, makes me be concerned…”
Claudio Moroni (Rete Sport): “I like to think that Ranieri told the Friedkins, “I’m staying here, I’m working, I’m going to be the next manager, but give me a sports director with a capital D and possibly Made in Italy….” Ghisolfi is not a life-changer, a life-changer is a sports director who scouts 1-2 players every year and changes your technical and sporting outlook…”
Fabio Petruzzi (Rete Sport): “Roma will have to play the game, I expect a very aggressive team from the start. And watch out for Eintracht, which it’s true will play with second lines, but it’s not necessarily a disadvantage for them: the players will be fresh and will want to take advantage of the opportunity to show off…”
Paolo Cosenza (Tele Radio Stereo): “The most serious thing is that Ranieri thought he was making an important path for Roma, rebuilding it and leaving it in the hands of the new coach, and instead here they are saying that Roma will only go on the market if it passes the round tonight…”
Francesca Ferrazza (Tele Radio Stereo): “They were the ones who told us that in January there would be a revolution, and instead we are here talking about a very mediocre market… Roma had to let Mourinho close the season and then they would have to go strong on Conte, I’ve always said that. It was the only way to give continuity to that idea there. So instead you just scattered, and now we’re talking about Fabregas and Farioli…”
Marco Valerio Corsi (Tele Radio Stereo): “If I had to choose between these coaches, then I would take Davide Ancelotti, hoping for the osmosis effect…If I have to give it a try, then I would go for someone who has seen more Champions League than years…If I have to take these coaches that you read about, then I would take the son of a coach who made history…”
Lorenzo Pes (Tele Radio Stereo): “Tonight’s game will be decisive on the market, because it’s one thing to have the double weekly commitment and another not to have it…The mistake was to have raised our voices after the defeat with Como, people expected something more from this repair market, and instead we are on January 30 trying to figure out if Roma will renew Zalewski’s contract to give him to Inter, which would be in my opinion the tombstone on this management…if Roma renews Zalewski’s contract, it’s a shambles…three teams turned down in 4 months, the latest being De Zerbi’s Marseille to go to Inter where he would be the fifth or sixth outfielder. But what does Roma get out of such an operation?….”
Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “Zalewski rejects everything, but what has he done to deserve the interest of all these teams? It seems strange to me that all these teams are looking for him…or they haven’t seen him play in the last two years and they are still left at the Conference year…because this is two years that he hasn’t swiped a ball…”
Stefano Carina (Radio Radio): “The best formation should play tonight, Roma must try to win it. Making calculations by taking a look at the others I would rather avoid it…Eintracht is a good team, more homegrown, and they lost their best player. It’s an affordable game, Roma has to aim for the playoff, that’s the minimum …”
Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio): “Roma doesn’t give you those guarantees right now, and so you will have to be very careful not to mess up the game, not to go under. The team seems to me the best to put on the field. Even if the latest performances are what they are, you have to have confidence…”
Tony Damascelli (Radio Radio): “But at a delicate time of the season, is it really necessary to go to a concert? It’s those little signs that instead of facilitating the reading of an environment, they intoxicate it. And we are talking about mature footballers, not kids…but these always live in their privileged garden. Let us hope that Roma is a good orchestra and that tonight she plays the concert to the Germans. I expect a great game from Hummels….”
