AS ROMA NEWS – Claudio Ranieri spoke to reporters’ microphones to talk about Lazio v Roma, a match valid for the 32nd day of the championship. These are the statements of the Giallorossi coach after the match.
CLAUDIO RANIERI A DAZN
Balanced start, too much caution?
“I agree, we were going backwards, and I don’t like that. I had asked for depth, I had put the wings on purpose, and I didn’t like it. That’s okay. Lazio did a little bit more as goal chances, we less, but I’ll take this draw.”
Can Soulè take this Roma side by the hand?
“If he starts from the outside he can take Roma by the hand, but we couldn’t serve him with the game change and we gave Lazio the chance to double him. In the second half he was more ferocious. He has everything to explode, the future is his.”
With Shomurodov Roma more dangerous, we can see two forwards in the future. Dybala on the bench?
“Unfortunately now he is only leader in the locker room. I know that with two forwards we are more vertical, but if I play with two forwards then I have no changes, it’s the only brake I have. When Eldor comes in he is decisive, it’s up to me to find the most suitable solution.”
How do you describe this last act of yours in the undefeated extracurrency?
“I was thinking about it before. I am of few words, I keep it to myself, but it is a beautiful thing. I would have liked to close with another win, but this is what soccer is and some things you have to accept.”
What will she miss?
“The full Olympic stadium, that’s one thing. It’s something that engages you, gives you the desire to give more and more.”
As a Roma adviser, you’ve already said that an extra striker is needed….
“(Laughs, ed.)…good night everyone!”
CLAUDIO RANIERI IN CONFERENZA STAMPA
What did you like most and in what aspects could more be done?
“The thing I liked most was the reaction and the desire not to lose in front of a very good Lazio. I did not like that in the first half we played too horizontally and did not go deep. It has to be said that Lazio had prepared the match well because they didn’t do as they did in the first leg when they came to attack us but stayed behind and our wings went back and didn’t ask for the ball deep. We suffered that, we kept too much ball and I don’t like that, but I really liked the reaction after the goal. In the end you have to count who had more goal chances and Lazio had them.”
She always says that the team must mirror the coach….
“When things are going well (laughs, ed.).”
Tonight is it Roma or Rometta?
“It is always Roma, who tried to play their game in front of a great team that is having a very good championship. We are not less than them, we started with the handicap but we are recovering and we are pushing. I have to say that we didn’t play very well, you have to give honor to the opponent, but we had a great reaction.”
What place will this derby have in his memories?
“When I am old I will think about it. Today there were three points up for grabs and I got one, which is good considering how the game had gone. I try to score as many points as possible here.”
Does it matter more to face direct confrontations or the small ones?
“These are very difficult matches, let alone when they are the last ones. There will be those who have to fight like us and those who fight to stay in A. We have to think one after the other, all matches create pitfalls for you. We have to give all of ourselves. We gave everything in the nervous and mental aspect in taking back the result.”
Allegri-style thinking? Can he be the coach for Roma?
“That is the thought, but he is not the coach for Roma. You will see him here if he finds a team in Italy….”
Can you explain the choice of Saelemaekers on the left?
“We wanted two tall outfielders, so we tried to do on the left with Saelemaekers and Pellegrini what we did in the first leg with Dybala. However, they got too low, that’s why I then brought Pellegrini closer to Dovbyk and put Shomurodov after him to play two forwards. When he comes in he smashes games for me, if he plays from the start maybe it doesn’t happen and then I don’t have cartridges to shoot.”
What characteristics should Roma’s next coach have?
“I’m sorry I can’t answer, I will never answer on the subject again. I just want a coach who can lead Roma.”
