the scream of the South, the smile and the hug to Ranieri

Lorenzo Pellegrini has been released. The captain of the Roma he returned to the field from the first minute in the Europa League match against Braga and immediately made his mark with a beautiful right-footed goal that broke the deadlock for the Olimpico. This is his first goal of the season, still without a goal in the league he managed to find his way to the net in Europe. A small signal that could be worth a lot for him and for Roma.

Pellegrini, the starter, responds with the goal

The former Sassuolo player hadn’t started for three games. The last one was the championship match against Napoli, then three consecutive games on the bench (Tottenham, Atalanta and Lecce). Claudio Ranieri he chose him in an important match and the captain responded presently. As Sky Sport correspondent Paolo Assogna also revealed, the coach had invited the players to look for Pellegrini and his intuition proved to be spot on. It took him 10 minutes to repay the coach’s trust, complete with hug after the goal. A gesture promptly caught by the cameras and which could mark a new rebirth for Pellegrini.
