THE VIGIL
“December will be a decisive month.” Claudio Ranieri had predicted it, anticipating a future that has now come to present the bill. Especially after the debacle against Como which left all the players in the dock. In the Italian Cup match against Sampdoria, therefore, the Friedkin family and Ranieri himself expect important answers. “It will be a game to be taken with a pinch of salt” admits the Giallorossi coach because “they have changed coach and they will want to show off, we have to be ready and tenacious”. The Italian Cup, therefore, represents the right opportunity to raise our heads again, a competition that Ranieri cares about, “just like the fans and the boys. We won it nine times”, he underlines again without hiding that desire for the “tenth” that it might not be pure utopia even if the last success dates back to 2008.
ANSA Agency Ranieri: ‘If Roma want a great coach they must move up’The coach on the market: ‘Dybala? I want players who are happy to be here. We will be vigilant and with our eyes open.”
Also for this reason Ranieri should opt for a rational turnover with the renunciation of Hummels and Cristante, still out, and Soulè together with Dovbyk and Saelemaeker. The one with the Blucerchiati, however, will also be the challenge to begin to understand who can be part of the Roma of the immediate future and who, however, cannot. Starting with Paulo Dybala, whose rumors of a farewell are once again insistent with Galatasaray returning insistently to test the waters for the Argentine, whose agent is in Istanbul – also for other players – and could return to the capital with a The Turkish club’s offer for the player, expiring next June – even if the automatic renewal lacks a few appearances – and, at the moment, without any proposal on the table from the Giallorossi club. “I’m happy to have him and put him on the field when he’s well. If he has other priorities, if the boy doesn’t want to stay and there’s a possibility… but both sides have to agree. I only want players who are happy to stay here. I didn’t perceive any discomfort from Dybala”, commented Ranieri who, however, wants immediate answers for everyone starting from the match against Sampdoria which, for Roma, represents much more than a simple round of 16 cup final.
