Claudio Ranieri spoke this Friday, November 22, 2024 at 48:00 p.m. about the movement of theAS Roma at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium to face Napoli during the 13th day of Serie A.
Are Hummels and Dybala physically fit to claim a starting place against Napoli?
“I saw the Dybala's first 20 minutes todayso let me talk with him, with the physiotherapists, to understand the number of workouts he needs to do before it can be available.
« Hummels had already trained with me last week, then he was sick the first two days, today he did all the trainingso I am calm and I will be able to decide as I want. It’s very important to have the opportunity to choose.”
Which Napoli is Conte's? How to confront it?
« I said it before the championship, Conte will arrive first or second. It's a team that's back on the right track, gaining strength, they're doing well, so it will be a good tough match for us, but I'm sure it will be tough for them too ».
After these first days, what is your opinion of this team? Does she have a winning mentality? As your predecessor requested?
« To date, it's hard for me to say if this team has a mentality or doesn't mentality. THE players are goodand I think that when we start losing one after another, we enter a negative spiral. My job today is to make them believe in themselves and their teammates again.”
« It's logical that what matters are the matches. Performing well increases self-esteem, confidence in yourself, in your teammates and in everyone. The quality is there. The team is a good team, with quality and everything you need. They must be supported by me and everyone behind this. The fans are the most important, they are the soul of a team. The coach may or may not be good, but fans are the fuel of the team. At this moment we will have to, as a team, accompany them with excellent performances, with the desire to show who we are. Football is simple.”
