AS ROMA NEWS – The hope is that when he dons the role of manager or, to respect the labels so dear to the Friedkin’s of senior advisor at the end of the season, Ranieri will keep talking, writes today’s edition of Il Messaggero (S. Carina). Because Claudio, among his qualities, has that of clarity. Outspoken, direct, he does not like to fool anyone. And above all, he does not want to be misunderstood.

So on the eve of the match against Verona he puts a few questions in order. First and foremost, the season’s goal after the two draws with Lazio and Juventus that caused the Giallorossi to slip to seventh place five points behind fourth: “Champions hopes? What Champions, let’s not fool the fans. Would you put a euro on Roma in the Champions League? You would lose it – the coach assures the audience listening to him in Trigoria – We can only go there if they all collapse and it would be a masterpiece, but we have to be serious with our people.” That alone would be enough and more.
But Claudio surprises everyone and continues, “The gap with the top 4-5 in the league is considerable and you all see it.” It is Ranieri who is speaking. But closing your eyes you seem to hear De Rossi and going a little further back in time a gentleman with a distinct Portuguese accent. So the years pass, coaches and sporting directors change, but in the end the story is always the same: there is a gap between Roma and the top 4-5 in our league. A difference that not even the arrival of Ranieri a few weeks before what then happened could have reduced. Claudio’s candor is a breath of fresh air among the corridors of Trigoria.
Because hiding hopes behind a team that is set to finish for the fourth consecutive year in the league around 63 points leads nowhere. Words that nevertheless need to dovetail with what the coach said recently about the kind of market that will await Roma and consequently the future coach: “Those who come know that for the first two markets we cannot make crazy expenses. Those who come must know these things.” Fair question: how then do we reduce this gap?
